Maria Quiñones Sanchez is throwing her hat in the ring to be Philadelphia's next mayor.
The longtime Democratic Philadelphia councilwoman -- the first Latina to serve a district on city council -- announced Tuesday morning that she had submitted her letter of resignation from council to run for mayor. “I’ve been grateful for every minute I’ve been able to serve, grateful for every vote, and every person who’s raised their voice to make Philadelphia a better place," Quiñones Sanchez said of her 14 years on city council."We’ve made progress. And I am excited to continue that progress as the first woman of color to be elected as Philadelphia’s next Mayor."
Important announcement: Today, I’m resigning from City Council to run for Mayor of Philadelphia. I am a child of Philadelphia public housing, a lifelong activist, and Philadelphia’s first Latina district Councilwoman.
Disaster plus candidate that will do nothing to save the city. It will be business as usual
Yeah she’s done wonders for the city and her district.
That should be Re-signed. I Hate Typos, who's Proofing these Articles at NBC 10. Nobody, I guess.
Have you visited K&A lately? 🤡🤡
The city is doomed
She should just resign. She’s been council person for 16 years. What has she done to better the city? Stop crime? Protect residents and visitors to the city?
She would be horrible as mayor. Absolutely just looking for money power and control and to inflate her already inflated ego. F no.
So another corrupt politician who allowed philadelphia become Chicago in a blink of an eye.
She’ll be worse than Kenney.
Long time council member. So she’s part of the problem.
