The Ultimate Job Interview presented candidates running in the Third District Democratic Congressional Primary on March 31, 2026. Unlike most candidate forums in which politicians are asked the same policy questions over and over, the purpose of the Ultimate Job Interview is to interview candidates for the jobs they are seeking by asking them the kinds of questions about leadership, character, management, experience and priorities that job applicants face. Each candidate will be interviewed for about 20 minutes by a panel of hiring executives. We heard from leading candidates:
State Representative Chris Rabb, Dr. Ala Stanford, and State Senator Sharif Street.
Spanning from Center City, Fairmount and parts of West Philly to Germantown, Chestnut Hill and Manayunk, the Third District is the most diverse and Democratic in the country. Eighty-eight percent of its voters voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. A crowded field of candidates is vying to replace current Rep. Dwight Evans, who has served in Congress since 2016, before announcing his resignation after a minor stroke. Primary election voting takes place May 19.
Video of the interviews is coming soon!
