Former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter Named National Political Chair for Mike Bloomberg

New York, New York – Today, Mike Bloomberg 2020 announced that former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has been named National Political Chair to the campaign. Mayor Nutter served as the Mayor of Philadelphia for two terms from 2008-2016, and prior to that spent nearly 15 years on the Philadelphia City Council. He also served as President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors from 2012-2013.

Mayor Nutter will advise the campaign on policy development and strategy, and serve as a national surrogate on behalf of the campaign, recruiting key voices to join the campaign and traveling to field offices and events, speaking to constituents and press about why Mike Bloomberg is uniquely qualified to unite and rebuild the country at a time when it is more divided than ever.

“Mike Nutter knows that real leadership means delivering results for the people you serve, and I’m honored to have his support,” said Mike Bloomberg. “We share a belief in the power of government to unite people and get big things done. Mike was an innovative mayor who made one of America’s biggest cities stronger and safer, and I’ve always appreciated his candor and counsel. While all the other Democratic candidates are focused on other states, we are building a campaign that can win critical battleground states — including Pennsylvania — and we are excited to have Mike on our leadership team.”

Nutter was a rather conservative mayor. Anti-union, pro-corporate, tax abatements for the very rich, middling on social issues.

Meh. I wasn’t a fan.
