Neighborhoods in every part of the city gave larger shares of their vote to Working Families Party candidates compared to 2019. The growth was strongest in Black and low-income communities.

In absolute terms, the Working Families Party earned 40% more votes this year compared with 2019. That’s in an election with 13% fewer votes cast for the at-large race overall than in 2019.

In the city’s most progressive areas, Working Families Party candidates even won more votes than some Democrats running for at-large Council seats. In places like University City, South Philadelphia, Fishtown, and Germantown, Kendra Brooks and Nicolas O’Rourke got more votes in many precincts than Democrats like incumbent Councilmember Jim Harrity.
