Philadelphia’s largest newspaper is backing Ori Feibush.

The real estate developer has won the endorsement of the Inquirer’s editorial board.

Feibush is in a fierce primary battle against Councilman Kenyatta Johnson in the 2nd District.

“While the race has often devolved into a highly personal feud between Johnson and Feibush, the choice for voters comes down to which candidate can provide the momentum to maintain the district’s progress,” the board writes. “That’s clearly Feibush, whose determination to ease the right development promises much-needed economic growth.”

“The Second District’s potential shouldn’t be squandered by an attachment to old, obstructionist City Council protocols. ORI FEIBUSH offers a more hopeful vision of its neighborhoods’ future,” they conclude.

The incumbent has received the lion’s share of endorsements so far, making this is an important victory for Feibush.
