Michael Bloomberg has reached deep into the City of Brotherly Love to head his longshot 2020 bid, naming former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter as national chairman.

Bloomberg worked with Nutter on urban issues during his tenure as New York City mayor.

Like Bloomberg, Nutter had to deal with legal fights over stop-and-frisk in Philly.

Nutter was initially elected on a law-and-order platform in 2007 and he backed the expanded use of stop-and-frisk to get guns off the street and curb crime.

Like New York, Philadelphia was sued by critics, including the ACLU, who alleged the practice was discriminatory and profiled innocent minorities.

The Pennsylvania Democratic primary on April 28 is also known as the Acela primary — because voters from New York, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland along Amtrak’s Northeastern route also vote that day.

Nutter will be Bloomberg’s top national surrogate and a key adviser on campaign policy and strategy.

“Mike Bloomberg is my kind of leader,” Nutter said in a statement provided by the campaign. “Mike is a man with a plan. He’s a doer. He won’t let us down.”

Bloomberg said, “Mike Nutter knows that real leadership means delivering results for the people you serve, and I’m honored to have his support. We share a belief in the power of government to unite people and get big things done.”

Philadelphia has also been a beneficiary of billionaire Bloomberg’s philanthropic generosity.

In the last year alone, Bloomberg Philanthropies has awarded the city $3.5 million to combat climate change and other urban challenges. Pittsburgh also received a $2.5 million climate grant and the state of Pennsylvania was awarded $10 million to combat the opioid epidemic.
