PHILADELPHIA MAYOR: Former Congressman Green Endorses Domb For Philly Mayor

Breaking with a recent trend, former Philadelphia mayor Bill Green endorsed Allan Domb to be the city’s 100th mayor.

Green, who served as mayor from 1980 to 1984 after serving in the United States Congress for seven terms (1963-77), released a video endorsing the real estate magnate for the position.

“I know [Allan’s] got the ability, the brains, the tenacity. He’s beholden to none, accountable to all and with a distinguished public service record behind him – with the most detailed plans to fix this city,” said Green in the video. “He is the best candidate left in this race. I am for him. I don’t think it’s a close call.”

Green was elected to Congress following the passing of his father, William J. Green, Jr., who first went to Congress after winning election while still a private in the Army during World War II.
