Early life and career

Gauthier was born in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Philadelphia.[1] Her father, Leon Williams, ran for District Attorney of Philadelphia twice as an independent candidate.[2] She received her undergraduate degree in Accounting from Temple University and her Masters in City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania.[3] Prior to getting her masters degree, she worked at DuPont as an accountant for two years.[4]

Gauthier founded Mommy Grads, an organization dedicated to helping single mothers raise children while attending college.[5] She worked as a program officer with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation before serving as executive director of the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia from 2013 to 2017.[4] In 2017, she became executive director of the Fairmount Park Conservancy.[6]

Philadelphia City Council

In January 2019, Gauthier announced she would challenge longtime incumbent Jannie Blackwell in the Democratic primary for Philadelphia City Council in the Third District, which covers much of West Philadelphia and Southwest Philadelphia.[7] Blackwell had represented the district since 1992, when she succeeded her husband Lucien Blackwell, who previously held the seat for 17 years. Gauthier defeated Blackwell by 56%-44% in the May 2019 primary, in what was called "a huge upset over one of the biggest political dynasties in Philly politics."[8] Gauthier faced no opposition in the general election.

In 2024, Gauthier proposed legislation to permit a 104-unit affordable apartment building at 50th and Warrington Streets after neighborhood NIMBYs successfully blocked the development.[9]

Personal life

Gauthier lives in the Kingsessing neighborhood with her two sons.[10] Her sister worked as a legislative aid to Philadelphia City Council member Curtis Jones Jr. as of 2019.[1]
