Daily News | Inside Cherelle Parker’s winning campaign for Philly’s Democratic mayoral primary
In the spring of 2020, as the coronavirus took hold and society came to standstill,Parker, who had recently been elected City Council majority leader, held weekly Zoom meetings on Sundays that spring with three trusted political hands: Tonyelle Cook-Artis, her former chief of staff and one of her best friends; Obra Kernodle IV, who had been deputy chief of staff to Gov. Tom Wolf; and Aren Platt, a top aide to the CEO of La Colombe and former political consultant.
Two years later, in late 2022, Harris left a White House job to become Parker’s campaign manager, and the team that would effectively elect Philadelphia’s 100th and first female mayor was in place. In 2022, Kernodle, who never held an official role with Parker’s campaign, encouraged Jeff Sheridan, who managed Wolf’s 2017 reelection campaign, to take the lead on setting up an independent expenditure committee to boost Parker’s candidacy. The result was Philadelphians For Our Future, a super PAC that would go on to raise $2.6 million, topping the $2.2 million raised by her campaign.
“We had a relationship, and we had a trust,” he said. “Her ex-husband was a tradesman. He was an operating engineer. She understood the dirty boots at the door.” “Her record did the talking,” he said. “Are we going to go with the shiny new car or the reliable car that we had that’s been running really well?”, making her the third candidate to do so, after the super-wealthy Allan Domb and Jeff Brown.

Cherelle Parker, Philadelphia's Likely Next Mayor, Could Offer Model for How Democrats Talk About CrimeThe Democrat who will almost certainly become Philadelphia’s next mayor wants to hire hundreds of additional police officers and says officers should be able to stop and search pedestrians if they have a legitimate reason to do so. Those positions would seem out of step in a progressive bastion like Philadelphia. But Cherelle Parker trounced her rivals in this week’s mayoral primary with a message that centered on tougher law enforcement to combat crime and violence. While local politics don’t always align with the ideological divides that guide the national debate, Parker’s victory offers a fresh case study for Democrats as they wrestle with how to approach the issue of violent crime.
