Nikil Saval is Philadelphia’s Democratic Ward Leader of the 2nd Ward and is currently a Pennsylvania Senatorial candidate for the 1st District. He’s also our guest for our pandemic quarantine Bluntcast #13.

Nikil was born in Los Angeles, went to school in New York City, and now lives in Philly, where he plans to stay.

He is also one of the co-founders of Reclaim Philadelphia, which has been quite influential in recent local elections through extensive canvassing and phone-banking.

Nikhil is currently running against incumbent Larry Farnese for PA State Senate.

Saval was also a major force in the local Bernie Sanders efforts.

He speaks with us about the current situation, how Sanders’ like policies which were deemed too controversial or expensive are now part of life, the balance between improving neighborhoods  while safeguarding the folks who have called those neighborhoods home for decades, as well as dealing with The Philly Blunt.

Nikil young guy with a bright future in Philly and maybe beyond. 

We hope you enjoy.
