Mayor Cherelle Parker recruits DC officials for Philly
In the final weeks of the Biden-Harris administration, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker visited Washington, D.C. to make a sales pitch. With Philadelphia looking to fill more than 100 positions including in law, housing and other departments, Parker aimed to tap into the pool of professionals in DC who are looking for new positions. She spoke with NBC10’s Lauren Mayk about her plan – as well as the incoming Trump administration and whether or not Philly is a sanctuary city - in the latest episode of Battleground Politics.
