The (Many) Philadelphians Running for Congress This Year
from City Cast Philly · host City Cast
With the retirement of Congressman Dwight Evans, Philly has an election this year for an open congressional seat, which doesn’t come along very often. That’s why there are at least 10 Democrats vying for the seat in the May primary. The third congressional district covers most of the city and is very blue, making the primary in three months the race to watch. But how are voters supposed to make sense of race with this many candidates? Our political contributor Lauren Vidas joins host Trenae Nuri to sort it all out.
