Posted

Incumbent Ward 2 Republican Alderman Jim Fulton won re-election to a third term with 299 votes, or 83%, defeating a challenge from Democrat Mangold Washington III with 57 votes, or 16% last Tuesday night.

“I would like to say I appreciate my Ward 2 constituents for giving me another four years,” Fulton said. “I appreciate my opponent for running a clean campaign. We have big challenges ahead. I am looking forward to continue to lead Philadelphia in the future.”

Incumbent Democrat Alderman-at-Large Leroy Clemons appears to have lost his re-election bid by a two-vote margin with 668 votes, or 49%, to Republican challenger James Carson Waltman’s 670 votes, or 50%. 

Independent Shaun Seales claimed a victory over Democrat Ruthie D. Nash in the race for the Ward 4 seat vacated by Cassie Henson who mounted an unsuccessful bid for the mayoral nomination.

Seales garnered 313 votes, or 78%, to Nash’s 87 votes, or 21%.

In the Ward 3 race, Democrat James Tatum defeated Republican Wright Griffis to win the seat vacated by Ronnie Jenkins.

Tatum got 120 votes, or 53%, to Griffis’ 103 votes, or 46%.

Republican Justin Lewis Clearman was unchallenged in filling the Ward 1 seat vacated by Joe Tullos.

Clearman got 279 votes, or 98% percent. Five write-in votes were recorded in Ward 1.
