For more than 20 years, Tracey Gordon has been a pillar of change for Philadelphia voters. In a modest neighborhood in southwestern Philadelphia, her organizing and legislative successes as a bloc captain and commissioner saw her transform from a position of local grassroots leader and advocate to an established citywide inspired to become an activist. Currently, she works at Philadelphia’s First African American Wills Registry.
Her tireless efforts have resulted in electoral protection legislation, neighborhood cleanups across the city, advocacy for seniors and young people, increased property value, and protection. Continuing to selflessly serve voters, we are implementing comprehensive probate reform and increasing diversity within Philadelphia’s government offices.
