Nearly four years ago, Al Schmidt found himself in the crossfire of a tenuous moment for American democracy. With former President Donald Trump casting doubt over the validity of the 2020 presidential election results, Schmidt, then City Commissioner of Philadelphia and, like Trump, a member of the Republican Party, was responsible for upholding the integrity of the city's votes, which helped tip Pennsylvania in Joe Biden's favor. Now serving as Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Schmidt is once again focused on running a smooth election, albeit on a much larger scale. He tells KYW Newsradio's Matt Leon why Pennsylvanians should rest assured their votes will count and be counted, regardless of party affiliation or political forces.  Listen to The Week In Philly on KYW Newsradio every Saturday at 5am and 3pm, and Sunday at 3pm.

On this new episode of THE POLITICRAT daily podcast Omar Moore is in conversation with Philadelphia City Commissioner and Chairman Omar Sabir on voting, voter education, misinformation and Black voters. Recorded on September 19, 2024.  NOTE: Omar researched post-interview that Stacey Abrams won 84% of the Black male vote in 2022 in the Georgia gubernatorial election. In the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election she won 88% of the Black male vote. Ms. Abrams did in fact do considerable outreach to Black men in 2018 and 2022--contrary to what Commissioner Sabir asserts during the conversation. Here's one example in a Yahoo story dated October 11, 2022: Stacey Abrams: "I actually focused on Black male voters in 2018...I have had very intentional conversations with Black male voters. My conversations are grounded in the fact that I respect Black men. I respect their voting power. Their voting power is strong and as candidates we have to be respectful of that and intentional about it."

Mapps has served as one of Portland's five council members since 2020, and was recently named the commissioner-in-charge of the transportation bureau. Mapps is a graduate of Reed College, he has a PhD in government from Cornell and is a former political science professor. Prior to ousting former Commissioner Chloe Eudaly from her seat in 2019, Mapps worked for the City of Portland's office of civic life.Jonathan and Commissioner Mapps covered a lot of ground in this interview. They talked about the type of person he's looking to hire as the next director of PBOT, how he thinks transportation policy and projects can help revitalize Portland, why he thinks the 2030 bike plan is outdated, his rationale for wanting more police officers patrolling Portland streets, his position on the I-5 Rose Quarter project, and much more.LINKS:LA Times article on Portland's problems and progressivismNovember 2020 BikePortland interview with Mingus Mapps

From being sworn in as City Commissioner with a copy of The Autobiography of Malcolm X to the release of this year's urgent Bellringer LP, it's hard to know how they find the hours in the day. But conversations like these make you glad there are people like Parker out there who still do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
