Pennsylvania Governor and former Mayor of Philadelphia Ed Rendell played a key role for Street by ensuring that business interests did not support Katz.
The race was covered in the documentary film The Shame of a City. This was the last election prior to the 2019 election that saw a Republican nominee carry a ward, with Katz carrying several.
