The Philadelphia Inquirer: Philadelphia teachers’ union endorses Helen Gym for mayor

The union that represents Philadelphia public-school teachers on Monday endorsed former Councilmember Helen Gym for mayor, throwing the weight of one of the city’s most politically potent labor unions behind a longtime education advocate.

Members of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers voted overwhelmingly for the union to pick Gym, who won four times as many votes as the candidate who finished in second, said Jerry Jordan, president of the PFT.
