| Info | As a lifelong resident of North Philadelphia, it was Malcolm Kenyatta's vision and passion for his neighborhood that inspired his run, and historic victory, for State Representative of the 181st District in 2018.
He currently serves as Vice-Chair of the Philadelphia Delegation and as a member of the Governor’s Taskforce on Suicide Prevention and a host of committee leadership positions. As the first openly LGBT person of color and one of the youngest members elected to the PA General Assembly, he is deeply committed to creating an equitable and inclusive society.
As a legislator, he has championed proposals to address generational poverty, raise the minimum wage, protect workers' rights, increase access to mental healthcare, common-sense measures to address gun violence, and protect our digital infrastructure.
In 2016, he was elected as Delegate to the Democratic Convention (PA 2nd), garnering the second-highest vote total of any delegate in the Commonwealth. He has also appeared on local and national media outlets to discuss systemic poverty, affordable education and childcare, and making government more accountable to citizens. His election was turned in an award-winning short documentary, ‘Going Forward’ produced by Seven Knot Productions, which premiered on ‘The Atlantic Magazine Selects’ in 2018.
He has served the diversity and inclusion engagement coordinator for The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia. He is also a certified anti-bias trainer with the Anti-Defamation League. In the summer of 2019 he completed public policy training at Harvard’s Kennedy School.
