I suspect Alan Domb would get tons of pushback from the socialist taking over Philly government. Last summer, I had a socialist canvassing for the Dem primaries show up at my door begging me to vote for anyone but Domb. She then proceeded to tell me she was against the tax abatements, has 7 cats, is a grad student studying philosophy, and wants Philly to provide houses for everyone. I told her to look at the schools, roads, and trash as the city can’t do the basics right but less manage housing. Anyways, the point is he’d have lots of pushback, though I’d love to see him run.
Make Squilla has been a great ward leader for us. I’d be interested in seeing him run.

Alan Domb will speak with a level of clarity that others won't even know how to formulate a plan to create.
I have heard him say he thinks he can lift 100,000 people out of poverty in Philadelphia.
Guess what? He will have a plan to do it that doesn't just involve spending more money with zero accounting (Kenney's answer to everything), and he will hold himself accountable.
I think when you hear goals like that. Very specific goals. Not just "we're going to improve education", it will be hard to ignore him.
He has some unlikely allies from the "socialist" wing...i.e. Gym etc. They've always had a good working relationship on council.
He will surprise you.
