Philadelphia 19146: REP Kenyatta'S views of the community

1. What were some of his legislative events? Healthy Senior Event, 186th College Achievement Fair, Career Fair, Small Business Symposium, just to name a few.
2. What were the demographics of his district in the past and how has this changed? Gentrification has change the community and it has improved the community. (I’m thinking it was always a mixed community so not much has changed,)

The current demographics for Rep. Johnson’s district are as follows:Women make up a large percentage of his district ( ages 18-35). The residents of this district are approximately 70 percent African American, 20 percent Caucasian and 10 percent Asian. The majority is low-income, however there is a subset of constituents, particularly in the South Street area of the City, that are progressive and policy-focused. This subset includes a substantial student population. Business and economic opportunities:Rep. Johnson’s district consist of five main business corridors, which are Point Breeze Avenue, Passyunk Avenue, South Street, Washington Avenue and Grays Ferry Avenue. Many of the establishments in these corridors are small businesses and the recent decline in the economy has had a negative effect on many of them. Because Small Business play a major role in helping to sustain the economy on both the local and national level, Rep. Johnson hosted the Small Business Symposium to help bring resources to the businesses in his district, including information about the Small Business Act. Rep. Johnson continues to advocate for small businesses to ensure that they receive the support they need including tax credits and other incentives to help them spare and grow their businesses.
