[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

On my first day as your Mayor, I released my 100-Day Action Plan laying out our path forward. From public safety to education, this details exactly how my Administration plans to get to work.

This is just the beginning.

[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

Just took the oath of office as the 100th Mayor of @PhiladelphiaGov. I am humbled and thrilled to serve as your new leader. Let’s tackle the challenges ahead and work together to unite our city. #OnePhilly

Promises made, promises kept. Today in North Philly, with ⁦@PhilaHsgAuthPHA⁩ ⁦@keljerry⁩ and the people of the 5th Council District. I am humbled, and grateful.

Why did Council President @Darrell_Clarke decide not to run for mayor?

"At the end of the day, the fire didn't burn in my belly," he said. Plus, he liked the things he was able to accomplish on Council.

Thousands of jobs building these homes, and several billion dollars in economic activity – all for the benefit of Philadelphia residents and this great City of Philadelphia.

[Darrell Clarke @Darrell_Clarke]

Over 100 shovels. Every one tells a story – of groundbreakings all across the 5th Councilmanic District, leading to more than 4,000 units of affordable housing for deserving Philadelphians.

Two Philadelphia police officers were shot overnight in the Northeast. Our deepest prayers are with the officers and their families. Our deepest thanks are with every officer and first responder who put their lives on the line each day to protect us. https://t.co/iRwp57hfVa

Tune in Sunday at 11:30 am and see my final interview with Lauren Mayk on @NBCPhiladelphia @Issue. We talk through 2+ decades of the best job I ever had, serving the people of Philly and the 5th Council District.

[Darrell Clarke @Darrell_Clarke]

It takes years of commitment to create a new playground and basketball court, but we did it at 11th & Venango in North Philly, where neighbors never gave up. Today was a day we've long worked for. Thanks to @PhilaParkandRec and @sixers for working to get this done! @PHLCouncil

Glad to hear that @sixers player @KELLYOUBREJR has been released from the hospital. While shocking, this incident is a reminder that traffic violence can happen to anyone. We must get serious about this issue to protect all Philadelphians. https://t.co/kFTZe25Iup

A bittersweet moment as Police Commissioner Stanford put it: the arrest of the last 2 suspects in the killing of Police Officer Mendez and shooting of Officer Ortiz. Law enforcement puts their lives on the line every day to protect us. We’re in their debt. ⁦@PHLCouncil⁩

[Darrell Clarke @Darrell_Clarke]

Council President Darrell L. Clarke issued this statement on the fatal shooting of a Philadelphia Police Officer, and the wounding of a second officer, during  a  suspected car theft last night in a parking garage at Philadelphia International Airport.
