I’m proud of the role played by the Faculty and Staff Federation of Community College of Philadelphia in helping Chris Rabb pull off this victory.
Chris’s victory is quite an achievement. Every single elected official–including the governor and the mayor were supporting his opponent. See

Sweet beating the incumbent, especially after that ridiculous special election a month ago.
