The Neighborhood Civic PAC is a medium for like-minded Philadelphia residents to carry out public service initiatives..."it's all about the neighborhoods." The Neighborhood Civic PAC is designed to help jumpstart civic associations in various neighborhoods and resurrect ones that were once mighty and help such associations get acclimated to the political process so that they may utilize this to the advantage of the neighborhood and constituency for which they represent.

Cummings in the runningfor Council seat

As the 2005 election cycle remains quiet, attention is turning to campaigns two years away.The Neighborhood Civic Political Action Committee will hold its kickoff fund-raiser on Thursday, July 21, at 6 p.m. at Liberties Restaurant & Bar, at Second Street and Fairmount Avenue.Tickets cost $25.The committee has been formed to draft Scott Cummings to run for the 6th Councilmanic District seat in 2007.Cummings, a Republican, serves as president of Mayfair Civic Association. He’ll attend the fund-raiser and speak on issues, but he will not declare his candidacy because, under the Home Rule Charter, he’d have to resign his job in security for the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
The 6th district seat will be up or grabs in 2007 since Councilwoman Joan Krajewski, a Democrat, is retiring after seven terms.For now, Cummings appears to be the only Republican candidate.Possible Democratic candidates include Washington Savings Association CEO and School Reform Commission member Marty Bednarek, Finnigan’s Wake owner Mike Driscoll, state Rep. Mike McGeehan and Dennis Kelly, who works for the city Bureau of Administration Adjudication. ••Reprinted courtesy of the Northeast Times
