Daily News | Former Mayor John F. Street has endorsed Rebecca Rhynhart in the 2023 mayoral race
, saying Rhynhart’s experience as city controller has prepared her to tackle the city’s problems on day one if she is elected.
Rhynhart served for five years as city controller, an independently elected office that audits city spending and investigates fraud, waste and abuse. After winning a shock upset over incumbent Controller Alan Butkovitz in 2017 and coasting to reelection in 2021, she resigned last year to run for mayor.
On Tuesday, Rhynhart echoed hallmarks of Street’s administration, which focused on neighborhood revitalization and blight reduction after Rendell’s more Center City-oriented tenure. As controller, Rhynhart was critical of what she described as inefficient spending and sloppy bookkeeping under Kenney. The mayor often shot back, saying Rhynhart was making hay to boost her political ambitions and cementing an antagonist relationship between the administration and controller’s office for much of Kenney’s tenure.
