Freshman State Rep. Tony Payton is not backing down from a primary challenge. He kicks off his campaign tomorrow at a Boys and Girls club in Frankford. Councilman Bill Green and Councilwoman Maria Quinonez Sanchez will be on hand to show support.

Ward leaders in Payton's district are backing Temple University Nurse Guy Lewis in the April primary election. They've been accused of trying to mess with Payton because he beat their candidate last time around.
