McClure Files Petitions for 4th Councilmanic Seat with More than Double the Required Number of Signatures
PHILADELPHIA: Matt McClure's campaign today filed petitions with 1,645 signatures from voters in the 4th Councilmanic District, more than double the required 750. McClure, a first time candidate who lives in East Falls, found broad support from across the District during the petitions process.
"I am extremely proud of the support I have received from every corner of the 4th Councilmanic District," said McClure today as he filed his petitions. "I am running for City Council because I want to bring new blood and new ideas to our municipal government."
Since he began campaigning a year ago, McClure has visited every neighborhood in the District, knocked on close to 5,000 doors, and raised over almost $100,000 from close to 300 individual donors.
McClure, a 4th generation Philadelphian, began his professional career working for the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, DC before returning to Philadelphia to work for then-Mayor Ed Rendell. He is currently an attorney at Ballard Spahr. He and his wife Kelly and their two children live in East Falls.
