A Word from WURD About the Philadelphia Mayoral Race

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, Jeff Brown declared his candidacy for the 2023 Philadelphia mayoral election. The Brown family has been a minority investor in WURD since 2016; their partnership played a key role in WURD’s ability to expand its footprint to 96.1FM.

WURD places the public interest above all others during this critical mayoral race. Our listeners can remain assured that the station will cover and interview all mayoral candidates with equal access and scrutiny.

WURD and its employees do not endorse any political candidates; in line with the Federal Communications Commission regulations for federal elections, WURD is committed to providing equal time, opportunity, and placement to all candidates for local office.
