TONY DPHAX KING

FRIENDS OF TONY DPHAX KING for STATE REPRESENTATIVE

I'm running for State REP to fight the CORRUPT Philadelphia Parking Authority! Send me to Harrisburg for 3 to 4 YEARS — then I’m OUT OF THERE! Is that asking too much? Support YOUR NATIVE SON and gladiator "Born & Raised" in Southwest & West Philadelphia! Not that guy from SOUTH BRONX, NYC!

The current State Representative is NOT ONE OF US!!

  1. He's from the South Bronx, NYC
  2. He's too cheap to pay $10 to notarize his papers here in our district (188th)!
  3. He BETRAYED his own community which has 20K evictions vs. 900 here in Philly.

TONY'S CORE VALUES Tony is a Father, author and fraternity founder. He believes that FAMILY is the very FIRST fraternity. Your FIRST professors are Mom, Dad & Grandparents and your FIRST university is the HOME. In Southwest and West Philly we are PUBLIC SCHOOL people. We're not a PRIVATE school demographic like the current representative. ALL of Tony's elementary, middle and high schools were PUBLIC schools and ALL are here in Southwest & West Philadelphia.

FRIENDS of TONY DPHAX KING CAMPAIGN 80% of PPA's tickets are issued where the poverty rates are high and the people are most vulnerable.
