Jim Kenney Democratic Jim Kenney Democratic The 2019 Philadelphia mayoral election was held on November 5, 2019, to elect the mayor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Incumbent mayor Jim Kenney, first elected in 2015, ran for reelection.

Ciancaglini promised to end Philadelphia's status as a sanctuary city and cancel plans to establish the supervised injection sites.

[1] Kenney easily won in his bid for re-election to a second term; however, this was the first election since the nationally controversial 2003 election in which the Republican nominee managed to carry a ward, with Ciancaglini carrying slightly fewer wards than 2003 Republican nominee Sam Katz.

Despite an easy landslide victory, there was increased dissatisfaction with Kenney and his administration, which continued months after the election.
