Good question. There's no polling so it's hard to tell. I would say Matt Frumin because he has raised the most money, and isn't based in Palisades. Five of the nine candidates are from Palisades -- including Goulet -- and they'll likely split the vote.

I agree. I’ve been looking into this since the Post endorsement because Goulet seems terrible, and I think Matt Frumin has the best chance.

The WaPo endorsements this year are terrible.

Tricia Duncan is right behind Frumin in the fundraising.

This guy . . . First the “you asked me about how to get increase diversity and I’m going to respond by telling you all about the problems that AA voucher recipients are creating” and now he goes and panders to these folks? Color me shocked . . .

What's particularly galling about Goulet's stance on this is that he's basically giving a big middle finger to Wilson and all of the ward 3 families that send their kids there. Overcrowding is a massive problem for the school, and he wants to torpedo the one option that could quickly address it. He's choosing a bunch of racist NIMBYs over the vast majority of people he claims to want to serve. It's appalling.

If the Foxhall NIMBYs and their ilk manage to elect this guy, they will only end up giving themselves a big black eye. He will be immediately ostracized from the Council and his election will be a massive flashing neon sign to the mayor’s office and every city agency that there is a major problem with Ward 3. They will respond by not just by building the two schools, but also by throwing every public service and affordable housing project they can at the area until the closet racists are well and truly flushed out. Electing him would be about the dumbest thing that Ward 3 NIMBYs could do, but if they do it, it will be very good for the rest of us.

Great. That would accomplish a few of my priorities for the ward. How do I vote for this guy?

I'd like to see more affordable housing and more schools. So should I vote for him?

I wonder if he realizes that he owns the problem of school crowding if he blocks MacArthur and Foxhall.

Elect Goulet and welcome to reconstruction redux, Ward 3.

Not if you want constituency services for the next four years. This guy is a narcissist. Narcissists don’t do constituency services.
