Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

Municipal: Mayor from phila.gov (Office of the Mayor), City Controller from controller.phila.gov/about, District Attorney from phillyda.org (elected city-wide; Philadelphia is a consolidated city-county), 10 district + 7 at-large council members from phlcouncil.com/council-members (retrieved 2026-10-14). The council page prints no party; municipal party fields are left null rather than inferred (Philadelphia municipal offices are partisan; the official historical results site is an iframe app and was not read).
phila.gov Terms of Use: all rights reserved; 'Distribution or republication in any other form or for any other purpose' is 'strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of the City' and commercial use is prohibited — phila.gov / vote.phila.gov material is used as single facts only (names, offices, parties), no text or images copied. Mayor photo is linked only.
Candidates: the City Commissioners' 2026 General Election 'Candidates for Office' page (vote.phila.gov, read 2026-10-14; no updated-date printed) — names and parties as printed there (upper case). It lists Governor/Lt Governor (3 tickets: Democratic, Republican, Libertarian; no Green ticket appears on Philadelphia's list), Congress PA-2/3/5, state Senate 2/4/8 and 26 state House districts. Pennsylvania Department of State's own certified list was not located; county lists elsewhere differ on minor-party gubernatorial tickets.
Only the city-hall state districts and statewide/federal offices are recorded as people. Districts covering the city: 3 congressional (PA-2, PA-3, PA-5), 7 state Senate districts (palegis.us shows 7 senators serving Philadelphia (part); SD-1 Saval contains City Hall and is not up in 2026), 26 state House districts (palegis.us; all 26 appear on the 2026 ballot). Ben Waxman (HD-182) is unopposed on the list.
PA-3 is an open seat: Dwight Evans (sitting) is not on the general-election list; Chris Rabb (sitting HD-200 state rep) is the Democratic nominee.
U.S. Senators: senate.gov and the senators' .senate.gov sites returned HTTP 403 (bot block, not bypassed); congress.gov also 403. Senators taken from the CC0 @unitedstates congress-legislators dataset (legislators-current.json). bioguide.congress.gov disallows all robots and was not used.
Next Philadelphia municipal election (Mayor, Controller, all 17 council seats): November 2, 2027 (general), primary May 2027. The District Attorney and City Controller were last elected in November 2025 (next 2029).
No home addresses, phones or personal emails recorded. standsFor left null for everyone (no candidate statements read).
Write-in candidates and primary losers excluded.
