A Democratic candidate running to be the next mayor of Philadelphia<\/a> drew audible gasps during Tuesday night\u2019s debate over his response on trash removal that critics described as racist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeff Brown, the owner of Brown\u2019s Super Stores Inc., a Philadelphia-based grocery store chain who has never held public office, was asked how he would address complaints of air pollution and environmental racism in the predominantly Black city of Chester, where roughly a third of\u00a0Philadelphia\u2019s trash is taken to be incinerated.<\/p>\n

“Chester is Chester,” Brown responded. “I’m worried about Philadelphians and how their lives are. And so what will come first to me is what would be best for my Philadelphians.”<\/p>\n

“So, you don’t care about Chester,” the moderator replied.<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA MAYOR CANDIDATE: \u2018I WOULD SHUT DOWN KENSINGTON,\u2019 CLEAR DRUGS AND CRIME<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I do care, but I don\u2019t work for them if I\u2019m the mayor,” Brown said. “I work for Philadelphia, and the trash has to go somewhere. And whoever gets it is going to be unhappy with it.”<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s comments immediately drew condemnation from the audience and his Democratic opponents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“That’s not really an appropriate answer,” said\u00a0former City Controller Rebecca Rhynhart.<\/p>\n

“That response is the same way you treat the Black and brown community,”\u00a0former City Councilmember Cherelle Parker said, garnering applause.<\/p>\n

“This is a disgrace,”\u00a0added former City Councilmember Helen Gym.<\/p>\n

A clip of the moment has gone viral on Twitter<\/a>, drawing over 1 million views.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has long held a contract with Covanta, a waste-to-energy incineration company that has faced past criticism for its air emissions<\/a> in Chester.<\/p>\n

Last April, Delaware County and the City of Chester<\/a> extended their contracts with Covanta for another three years, sparking protests.<\/p>\n

Brown is one of nine Democrats vying for the party’s nomination<\/a> to face Republican David Oh, who is running in his party’s primary unopposed. They are competing to replace Mayor Jim Kenney, whose second term expires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
