Brady is threatening to expel members of the city committee who support anyone but Democrats. Some Democrats are supporting Working Families Party candidates anyways.
City Council candidates Nicolas O’Rourke and Kendra Brooks, both of the Working Families Party, stand outside Philadelphia City Hall in July. An increasing number of elected Democrats are backing the progressive third-party candidates and bucking their own party's leadership in the process.
The Second Ward, made up of elected committee people and led by progressives, remains the most notable group of Democrats to buck Brady,Will Gross, the newly elected ward leader, said the ward also endorsed all five Democratic nominees and that Democrats “will not lose by supporting the Working Families Party.”
For a Democrat to lose, they’d have to be beat by three candidates who are either Republicans or third-party members.
