Cherelle Parker: We Can’t Make Philadelphia the Safest and Greenest City in the Nation Without Biden

RUSH EXCERPT:
PARKER: "Reverend al, let me just say this as it relates to polls. I became the first woman mayor in the city of Philadelphia, and if I looked at polling as the sole indicator to how I would perform in this election, I wouldn’t be here. What I as mayor will be doing is reminding philadelphians we will have to keep our eyes on the prize, and we will have to think about, for example — and you can’t make these numbers up. I’m a new mayor, I just got here in January. I have received from the federal government, the Biden/Harris administration, over $613 million for the city of Philadelphia. For what, reverend al, can’t go through it all, but $25 million for water and sewer treatment, for infrastructure, $317 million, mass trajs sit, $#158 159 million to reconnect a community in Philadelphia that had been red lined and moved away from our city, and $2 million for additional brown fields remediation. So for me, I think a whole lot about baldwin, this is not simply listening to what people say, this is about watching what they do. And President Biden has affirmed that he knows what it means to make Philadelphia what I’ve committed, and that is to make our city the safest, cleanest, greenest big city in the nation with economic opportunity for all, and we can’t do it without President Biden, and that’s what I’m hoping that he stays focused on. I talked to him personally on many occasions. I’m in close communication with his team, and we’re going to stay focused on the facts. And it’s my job as mayor, reverend al, and I want to be clear, I need to make sure that philadelphians know that we won’t be had. We won’t be took. And we won’t be hoodwinked by any black faces in high places telling us that we should endorse Trump. We won’t forget about what he’s done. And we’re prepared to do that here in the city of Philadelphia."
