2019 Philadelphia mayoral election


The 2019 Philadelphia mayoral election was held on November 5, 2019, to elect the mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Incumbent mayor Jim Kenney, first elected in 2015, was running for reelection. Kenney was running on raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, to maintain supervised injection sites and the city's soda tax, and to ensure the city's compliance with the Paris Climate Agreement.
Ciancaglini promised to end Philadelphia's status as a sanctuary city and to cancel plans to establish sites where people can safely inject heroin. No Republican has won a Philadelphia mayoral election since Bernard Samuel in 1947.
Kenney easily won in his bid for re-election to a second term.
