WHYY · March 20, 2026 · By Carmen Russell-Sluchansky
WHYY covers the press conference where a coalition of the Working Families Party, the Democratic Socialists of America, Reclaim Philadelphia and OnePA formally lined up behind Rabb, positioning him as the outsider in the race to succeed Dwight Evans. Councilmember Nicolas O'Rourke praised his record: "He has challenged corporate power when it has come at the expense of working families. He has advanced social justice, not as a slogan but as a responsibility." Reclaim Executive Director Seth Anderson-Oberman is quoted on why Rabb's refusal of corporate PAC money mattered in this climate. The same story covers Dave Oxman dropping out and endorsing Ala Stanford.
