Some Famous People called Jim Kenney
Jim Kenney
James Francis Kenney (born August 7, 1958) is an American politician who is the 99th Mayor of Philadelphia. He was first elected on November 3, 2015, defeating his Republican rival Melissa Murray Bailey after winning the crowded Democratic primary by a landslide on May 19.
Before he became mayor, Kenney was a member of the Philadelphia City Council for 23 years, serving as a Councilman at Large from January 1992 until January 29, 2015, when he resigned to run for mayor. In his first term, Kenney had negotiated with labor unions, reversed many of his predecessor’s Great Recession austerity cuts, brought schools under local control, and delivered crucial funding for pre-K by working with City Council to pass the nation’s first big-city sweetened beverage tax, known by proponents and detractors as “the soda tax.” He also received national attention for standing up to Donald Trump. Kenney's second term started two months before the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused unprecedented challenges.
Kenney was re-elected to a second term as mayor on November 5, 2019. His term will expire in 2024.
