The 2003 Philadelphia mayoral election was a contest between Democratic incumbent John F. Street and Republican businessman Sam Katz.
Pennsylvania Governor and former Mayor of Philadelphia Ed Rendell played a key role for Street by ensuring that business interests did not support Katz.[2]
The race was covered in the documentary film The Shame of a City. This was the last election prior to the 2019 election that saw a Republican nominee carry a ward, with Katz carrying several.
"Governor Rendell's squeezing business not to support Republican nominee, Sam Katz, will help"
