Meanwhile, In The 197th District …

While Babette Josephs and Brian Sims are having it out in the mailboxes of voters, Jamil Ali and J.P. Miranda, running against Jewel Williams in the 197th District, argue that she is staying too quiet. Ali and Miranda allege Jewel Williams is riding the coattails of her father, Sheriff Jewell Williams, and hoping the difference of one “l” will not register in voters’ minds as they think they are voting for the two l Williams. Shady practices all around, and it’s not even November.

    A 23-year-old with no degree quite literally running on her father’s
    name (but she’s in a non-degree sign language program!) who lives with
    her mother in a house she doesn’t pay taxes on. How very Philadelphia.

    Nothing says “experience” like going from internship –> PPA patronage job –> state representative!

    Maybe his daughter will finally help ol’ Jewell get a $38K SUV with his name in decals:

     Oh my god, seriously!?  My favorite part is where he says an Escape is too small for his 5’10″ self.
