Who's endorsing who for mayor of Philadelphia

Some of the Dems running for mayor are racking up endorsements as the May 16 primary nears.

Yes, but: Interest groups have not coalesced around a single candidate. For instance, organized labor, which is influential in city elections, has split its support among a few contenders.

• The upshot: No one has garnered frontrunner status.

Between the lines: Not all endorsements are equal.

• An endorsement from certain groups can unlock significant campaign funding and robust turn-out-the-vote efforts.

Of note: The Philadelphia Democratic City Committee isn't endorsing anyone for mayor.

• Instead, each of the city’s 66 political wards will make its own endorsements. Certain wards have consistently high voter turnout rates.

Jeff Brown:

• AFSCME District Council 33 (Philly’s largest municipal union)
