ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Next Mayor project is an innovative, two-year multimedia partnership to focus on the issues - not just the personalities - leading to the 2007 mayor's race. It was created by the Daily News, WHYY and the Committee of Seventy. The project is funded in part by a $330,000 grant to WHYY from the William Penn Foundation. Read the Daily News story announcing the project here. Read the press release here.

The Next Mayor project is a part of the Daily News' Rethinking Philadelphia initiative. For nine years, we've been proposing ideas to make Philadelphia a better place.
