“The Second District is my home. I grew up in these neighborhoods. That’s why I could not be more proud to represent you in city council. I believe this district is the heart and soul of Philadelphia and my priority is to make sure every single person has a voice in their future.”
– Democrat Kenyatta Johnson
For Kenyatta, fighting for Second District families is more than a job–it’s a lifelong commitment. Learn more about his vision.

Thank you to my fellow @PHLCouncil members for voting out of the Law and Government Committee a series of bills to help Philadelphia's hospitality workers.
I am a co- sponsor of the bills along with Councilmembers Helen Gym and Isaiah Thomas.
This package of bills would protect the jobs of over 12,000 hospitality workers who were laid off as a result of #Covid19.
The three bills are expected to come up for a final passage vote in mid-December.
