Above: Vanessa Brown, winner of the Democratic Primary seat for State Rep. House of Representatives, 190th District over 4 year incumbent, Rep. Thomas Blackwell, gathered with a crowd who attended her victory speech at The Greater Bible way Baptist Church on last Tuesday, April 22, 2008. From center left to right are Host Pastor Bishop Benjamin Peterson, Winner Vanessa Brown and campaign manager Lauren Townsend. At front bottom row is Lee Tolbert, Founder and President of West Philadelphia Coalition of Neighborhoods and Businesses (WPCNB).

Vanessa Brown, candidate for the seat that was held by State Rep. Thomas Blackwell, representing West/Southwest/North Philadelphia, has made dedication to voters a key part of her own state representative campaign. Yes, Vanessa Brown, won out against Rep. Blackwell during the past Tuesday Democratic Primary in Philly. And now Brown can make sure that as the citizen’s state rep. her pledge to help confront the homicide rate in Philadelphia will be a first time hands-on real life mission. Brown won smoothly.

What’s important to note is that Brown will be the very first lady of the 190th District seat. And her mark will be a special part of history in Philadelphia politics. As an African American woman their style and skill to be brave, think outside the box and demonstrate how things can be settled quickly as a positive will now all be rapped up in likely new state rep, Vanessa Brown. And this is a fresh start in politics in the year 2008.

Brown seems to be an individual of detail. During her first year in office, Brown plan is to look at public-safety, support the needs of Philadelphia’s new Police Commissioner Ramsey, assist with healing the city by its mayor’s attempt to hire 500 more cops over three years, and look into legislation concerning re-entry. As you may know, the term of state rep is for 2 years. If any state rep would hope to finish a full term and work their way right in to another term, they must start preparing for campaigning just shy of the first full year in office. So, Brown is in a unique position already. She must work hard so far now compared with last years state rep. of the 190th District and then work even harder after her likely win over a Republican candidate challenger come the month of November. So, far Brown has been doing a great job on the issue of the homicide rate in Philadelphia. She works very close with organizations that have town watch in place.

Neighbors citywide have anticipated a wonderful change in the climate of the war against drugs, decay and homelessness in Philly. But many really supported Brown for the new seat because the publics transit situation dealing with construction and fair cost is a real ugly mess. And Vanessa has championed going over research studies and surveys about how the publics transit system in Philly has caused deep harm in some Philadelphia areas.

But trying to help get a grip on youth violence everywhere in Philly has also been a work in progress from the state level. And Brown has worked very closely with experienced state reps, some former state reps and some current state reps, to have the right idealism she is gonna need to gets things passed at the state level. Things need to go in the right direction and so, so fast. But is dealing with guns and crime the only way to get it done?

Like Barack Obama, Vanessa Brown has a plan that involves using a new state representative authority to take action across the state to stimulate school education growth and job growth. Brown calls for making sure that all children in her District get fair education. And there is a reach out message to see to it that Philadelphia Community College has more support. While there are colleges in the 190th District triangle like Drexel University and the U. of Penn that do much for families, the Community College of Philadelphia is a direct key to improving conditions for the city’s labor force. So, Brown, who plans to make more history as a double-minority-candidate for state rep., will have her hands full when she likely takes office to strengthen the community with increases for school-age-children activities that help start to finish brighter kids.

So far, I believe that Vanessa Brown will achieve new development or a pick up where others have left off in helping to make things more stable in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania environment.
