Meet ‘Mayor Jim Kenney,’ a 25-year-old woman | The Inquirer, Philly.com

[dropcap]Sitting[/dropcap] at a small desk across the hall from the mayor’s office, Chamarra McCrorey finds her inner Jim Kenney as she responds to dozens of emails, letters, and social media posts each day. [mc4wp_form id=”6042″]

On Valentine’s Day, Kenney received two requests from residents asking him to officiate at their respective weddings. McCrorey wrote back using each of their first names: “Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!… I’m honored by the invitation.” She provided the link for a scheduling request.

That day, McCrorey also responded to people asking for a National Nutrition Month proclamation and someone notifying the mayor about a broken streetlight, among dozens of other messages. She also managed complaints on social media about illegal dumping and litter.
