The hotly contested race for who will represent the democratic ticket in Philadelphia's mayoral election has entered its homestretch, and candidate are making one final push to sway voters.
Allan Domb, a wealthy real estate magnate, was out campaigning Tuesday in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square with his dog Allie by his side. Domb, who has pumped more than $7M of his own money into the race, said he has campaigned in every section of the city.
The sprint to election day is a mix of shaking hands, door knocking, getting out-the vote and TV ads. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports over 31-million dollars have been spent in the five-way, competitive race with a razor-thin margin separating the candidates. "No one has really taken off from the pack the candidates have to concentrate on getting their base out," Ceisler said.
