Following Tuesday’s special elections, Philadelphia voters have elected four new City Council members to fill the seats vacated by members who resigned to run for mayor.
The new members include two who will fill at-large seats and two who will fill district seats. Jim Harrity and Sharon Vaughn will fill Derek Green and Allan Domb’s former at-large seats, while Quetcy Lozada will fill the former 7th District seat of Maria Quiñones Sanchez and Anthony Phillips will fill the former 9th District seat of Cherelle Parker.
Speaking with NBC10 sister station Telemundo62, Lozada said she will focus on building “alliances” between the community and police, especially in the Kensington neighborhood she will represent, which has been wracked for years by high crime and opioid addiction.
