Damon Roberts reportedly out of race in 2nd District

The Daily News' Philly Clout and Inquirer's Heard in the Hall are reporting that lawyer Damon K. Roberts is expected to drop out of the race for the 2nd Council District, currently occupied by Councilwoman Anna Verna, who is retiring.

The 2nd District is roughly split between black and white voters but currently has three black candidates — Tracey Gordon, State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson, and Damon Roberts — and only one white candidate — Barbara Capozzi — in the running.

Roberts' leaving the race will likely tip it farther toward Kenyatta Johnson.
