Philadelphia’s 2023 election season is underway, and in this
episode of Home Rule, Inquirer editorial board member Dan Pearson
joins Ali and Jon to discuss the City Council field. Adding to the
already-high stakes of this election, Council President Darrell
Clarke announced his retirement this week. We talk about CP
Clarke’s politics and leadership on City Council, and how his
departure could change things going forward. We also discuss the
state of the District City Council races to date.
Stay tuned for more episodes of Home Rule as we feature more
election and issue expert guests over the coming weeks to discuss
