Join us for a conversation with Danilo Burgos, the next representative of Pennsylvania's 197th District.
Burgos, a former aide to Philadelphia Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez and Councilman Allan Domb, won the primary election on May 15, defeating two other candidates: incumbent Rep. Emilio Vazquez and Fred Ramirez, President of Pan-American Mental Health Clinic. As there are no Republican candidates vying for the district, Burgos will not face any opponents in the November general election and is expected to assume office when Vazquez's term expires in January.
The 197th District is comprised of neighborhoods in North Philadelphia, including sections of Fairhill, Kensington, Hunting Park, Glenwood and Feltonville.
