It appears that due to the surprise surge in Democratic mayoral candidate Tom Knox’s poll numbers, folks (read: fellow white mayoral candidate Rep. Bob Brady) are getting so nervous that they are encouraging the City Council to repeal the City’s political contribution limits of $5,000 per individual and $20,000 per political action committee (PAC).
As of January 31st, Knox has already ponied up nearly $2 million of his own money in addition to raising another $500,000, far more than the second closest fundraiser of the five candidates, former City Council member Michael Nutter (District 4).
Haven’t seen the ubiquitous ads that have been airing on local TV for weeks and weeks? Check out the latest Knox ad below and ask yourself who you think make up the additional 25% of polled voters who are now excited by his candidacy.
