Our political leaders are seldom asked the same kinds of probing questions that reveal the core competencies of everyday job applicants. We ask candidates for public office about their stand on issues, but rarely ask them to demonstrate how they can get things done. The Citizen is out to change that. It’s time to move beyond the talking points…and get real. The solution?
We’re asking you – citizens of Philadelphia, from every zip code and every political viewpoint – to tell us what we need in a mayor. Your feedback will form the basis of a citizen-generated job description. We’ll use that to interview each mayoral candidate during a series of free, public mayoral job interviews to be held at Fitler Club, kicking off January 2023.
Fill out the form below to help write the mayor’s job description. And please share it with every Philadelphian you know! Just share the link here.
