Jack Kelly, Republican pretending to be Democrat
Submitted by phillyguy81 on Mon, 11/05/2007 - 6:16pm.
This sticker is on full display at the Girard and Front Street El stop.
It shows that Jack Kelly will do just about anything to get elected, even
lie that he's a Democrat.
As far as I know, Jack has always been a Republican, from the Northeast, for the Northeast.

Grace Kelly's brother, John B Kelly, Jr. was a city councilman for 12 years and, I believe, a Democrat.

Actually more recent than that- maybe as recent as 99, but definitely 95, John B Kelly (I assume this would be Jack Kelly III) ran for Council At-Large, as a Dem, which is probably what this is from.

Get to know City Council first hand and then judge for yourself the capability of this group to take on the huge problems facing our city. One or two visits to open sessions (I did about three years as a freelance journalist) and it becomes overwhelmingly obvious that we need elected officials with brains and energy to build any kind of viable future for our city. Hand-picked party loyalists, political muppets cannot build a bright future for our city. We need bright, energetic folks with a passion for really serving the public. This city has lost one million residents under the existing single party rule. Vote for the best and the brightest candidate available.

I love it. Following the Buchwald rule, I'm going to credit you three times. Then I'm taking that phrase.
