Cherelle Parker poised to become first female mayor of Philadelphia

Cherelle Parker ran on a platform with a "tough-on-crime" foundation, and it worked. She is now the Democratic nominee for mayor of Philadelphia. But political experts say you can't rule out the fact that Parker has deep roots professionally, politically, and personally. "She had some very strong support, regional support, here in our area, northwest in particular. Obviously, the African-American community, which makes up 40% of the city," said Dr. John Kennedy, a political science professor at West Chester University. #philadelphia #politics https://6abc.com/cherelle-parker-phil...
