Kendra Nicole Brooks (born July 9, 1972)[1] is an American politician and activist. Brooks, a member of the Working Families Party (WFP), won a citywide at-large seat in the election to Philadelphia City Council on November 5, 2019.[2][3] The Council has seven at-large seats that go to the highest overall vote-getters with two seats reserved for a minority party. Brooks's initial 2019 election was the first time a third party candidate won the minority party seat since its inception in 1919, through the creation of the modern Philadelphia City Council.[2][3][4] Brooks won reelection to Philadelphia City Council in 2023.[5]
