Frumin.
He is a stand up guy that has truly dedicated his entire life to the city and ward 3. He is definitely liberal - but level headed with a more well rounded approach to everything. He will do great things. |

| Looks like a coordinated pro-Frumin gorilla campaign in this thread. Reminds me of all of the pro-Frumin people who bitterly complained in GGW comments for their Bergman endorsement. I have to hand it to you, you are a very aggressively online group. Unfortunately, you are not reaching likely voters here (or Twitter or GGW comments), so you wasting your breath. You are better off trying to infiltrate the mommy groups at Turtle Park or CC Rec Center. |

| I had a similar debate with myself and decided on Frumin. He, and everyone other than Goulet, is further left than I am, but he has a good head on his shoulders and has been advocating around the ward for longer than I've lived here. I'd trust him more than you should trust me! |

Frumin seems like a nice guy but what exactly has he been “advocating” or doing all these years. He served on Cheh’s school boundary task force a few years ago, where his only memorable statement was to dismiss Ward 3 schools being removed from the Alice Deal feeder pattern as “collateral damage.” |

Both candidates apparently favor adding density - in someone else’s neighborhood. |

He helped found a city wide public school advocacy group. He has been on the Washington Interfaith Network Affodabel Housing task force, he has served as an ANC Commissioner including as Chair of ANC 3E. He was on the ANC and helped foster several development projects on Wisconsin Avenue, as well as the AU Law School. He has served as the Board Chair of the Lisner Home and just got a 93 unit affordable senior housing building through the ANC and Zoning Commission. He has been on the Tenleytown Main Street board advocating for small businesses up and down Wisconsin Avenue. These are the things I know of and there are a bunch that I am not as familiar with in the public school world. |

I also want help choosing! I want to be a one-issue voter on the issue of getting the new high school built as planned. I am very concerned that the Palisades NIMBYs are going to derail the plan and god knows when (if ever) they will find another site. Meanwhile Wilson is bursting at the seams.
Who is my candidate? Goulet said he is opposed. Frumin seems to support it based on his website. Is he the best shot at getting it done? |

Is this good or bad for Frumin? If you are concerned about rising crime, it’s bad? But lots of older voters like Racine despite his lax attitude towards prosecution, so it’s good? Certainly his endorse was enough for Pinto to win. It’s funny that Racine endorsements may have more pull across the city than a Bowser endorsement.

Goulet is probably your best bet to ensure that realistic plans are made and delivered. Frumin will turn every decision into analysis by paralysis. |

The city has already purchased the site. It will be opened in 2023. A new Councilmember will not be able to derail it. |

Racine is a well respected Attorney General and Ward 3 resident. Any of the candidates would have been thrilled to get this endorsement. |

Goulet has been telling everyone he is opposed to the high school. |

| Honestly, Goulet is the only reasonable choice. |
