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.

Krajewski not out? 6th District Speculation
Submitted by Tulin on Mon, 2005-08-01 19:36.
According to Tom Waring of the Northeast Times, Joan Krajewski may not be out when it comes to representing the 6th Council District.
Another possible candidate is Krajewski. Rumors continue that she might decide to run again. She was unavailable for comment as the Times went to press. Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson and First Assistant District Attorney Arnie Gordon are among those who have gone back on the city payroll after retiring via DROP.
If Krajewski were to retire, some familiar faces may be running for her seat, including Republican Scott Cummings, Democrat Mike Driscoll, state Rep. Michael McGeehan, Chickie’s & Pete’s owner Pete Ciarrocchi and Dennis Kelly.
Republican Scott Cummings, though he has not officially declared, appears to have the earliest start of any of the potential candidates for that seat. The PAC behind the "Draft Cummings" movement has held two fundraisers and at it's most recent fundrasier, boasted an attendance of over 200 people including Republican party leaders Vito Canuso and Mike Meehan; 55th Ward Republican leader Chris Vogler; civic leaders Reese Hartey, Al Mercadante and Glenn Devitt; GOP district attorney candidate Lou Schwartz; former political candidates Sam Mirarchi, David Oh and Barbara Cummings and Robert Esche, Todd Fedoruk and Riley Cote of the Flyers.
