I'm optimistic about the future of our city. With major events and conventions picking back up, jobs coming back, construction booming, tourism on the upswing, and one of the highest vaccination rates in the country, I remain confident that Philadelphia’s best days are ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to share that 66% of Rebuild’s committed contract dollars are going to minority or women-owned business enterprises. #RebuildPHL has completed 9 projects, started construction/pre-construction at 11 sites, and began the community engagement and design phase at 40 sites. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll continue to support families, communities, and quality education through programs such as #PHLConnectEd, #CattoScholars, and programs funded by the #PhillyBevTax including #PHLpreK, #RebuildPHL, and #CommunitySchoolsPHL. — PolitiTweet.org

My top priority remains to keep people safe. The rise in gun violence that we’ve seen in our city is heartbreaking. We’ll continue to invest in anti-violence initiatives that address the immediate crisis and tackle the systemic, root causes of violence. https://t.co/0Hl9DBYw4h — PolitiTweet.org

As we move forward, our administration will continue to plan a future that will benefit Philadelphians for generations to come by investing in: ➡️ Education ➡️ Neighborhood commercial corridors ➡️ Housing ➡️ Infrastructure ➡️ Public spaces — PolitiTweet.org

Key among the industries seeing tremendous growth is logistics and distribution, as well as life sciences where companies in University City and the Navy Yard continue to flourish. Our city keeps climbing up in the international rankings of venture capital. #PhillyRoadmap — PolitiTweet.org

Our Worker Relief Fund provided over $2.2M in emergency direct cash assistance to 2,800+ workers who were left out of federal and state COVID-19 relief programs. We also launched #PHLRentAssist, which has helped 39,000+ households remain in their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past 2 years, despite the enormous impact the pandemic had on the City’s budget, we stepped up to support our businesses and residents. Since March 2020, we've directed over $140M in government, philanthropic, and private funding to our small businesses and nonprofits. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Throughout the course of the pandemic, we’ve all had to make sacrifices. We faced incredible challenges together, and now, we are well-positioned for recovery in the wake of the pandemic and the new normal that we’ll navigate together. #PhillyRoadmap — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Since the vaccines started rolling out, I'm proud that Philadelphia has become one of the most vaccinated cities in the country! These vaccines are nothing short of a miracle, and they remain the best and quickest way we can start getting back to the things we love and miss. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Honored to deliver my seventh address to the @ChamberPHL community today. Our tourism, events, and convention industries are a major source of employment and economic impact for our region, and I want to thank everyone for working with us to beat back the pandemic. #PhillyRoadmap https://t.co/CbTEyC1TWb — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an outstanding nominee for the Court. Her background and credentials prove that she will uphold the Constitution and work for the American people. The Senate should move forward with a fair and timely hearing on this historic nomination from @POTUS — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I joined @PHLserves in welcoming @AmeriCorpsCEO Michael Smith to Philadelphia.

The attack on Ukraine is an attack on freedom everywhere. My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and our strong Ukrainian community here in Philadelphia. Our city stands ready to help and offer peace to those seeking a safe haven. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone deserves to feel secure and welcome in our city. As we continue our work to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in Philadelphia, I am grateful for the dedication, compassion, and partnership shown by @PHLCares' leaders, supporters, and grantees. — PolitiTweet.org
