Daily News | Legal challenge seeks to bump Working Families Party candidate from ballot for Philly city commissioner
The challenge, filed by attorney Kevin Greenberg, said Smith filed a candidate’s statement of financial interests with the Pennsylvania Commission on Ethics but did not file that document with the Philadelphia Department of Records or the city’s Board of Elections.
And Philadelphia Republicans and Democrats are concerned about having no GOP representation among the three city commissioners, who administer elections in the city. Bluestein was appointed last year by Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, to replace Schmidt, who resigned and is now Pennsylvania’s secretary of state.One of the voters bringing the challenge, Gregg Kravitz, questioned whether Smith’s background as a labor lobbyist made him qualified to run elections in the city.
“I think it’s important to not only have a Republican but someone like Seth Bluestein, who is an independent-minded Republican,” Kravitz said.
