White has a much better chance of beating Bowser than JLG, who wouldn’t even win her own ward.

You obviously don't live here in Ward 4, where she's EXTREMELY popular and will defeat her primary opponent by at least 50 points.

+1. Big fan of JLG as a Ward 4 parent, her constituent services have been really responsive.

This is a good indication that Bowser will run again in 2026 and that he doesn't think he could beat her.

He had the best chance of probably any potential candidates to defeat Bowser and so it also dramatically increases the likelihood that Bowser will be mayor until 2030.

She will want to see the football stadium through, so of course she is going to run again.

Bowser may run and win again but she will get recalled before 2030. Just because no one else can beat her doesn’t mean she’ll be able to stick around at the rate she’s going. She has pissed off too many people.

why would she get recalled? and replaced with who?

Bowser will coast to victory. She’s a steady hand with Trump, which I appreciate. If we got an agressive nutjob as Mayor, Trump would just go head-on to dissolve the DC government and expropriate our DC municipal taxes.

Folks, it can always get worse.

"She's a steady hand with Trump"
I think I'd sooner say she's gone steady with Trump and is giving him a handie. Absolute sellout of our fair district.

Did you want the new Stadium or not?

If she decides to contest it he’s done for.

He’s a nice guy but out of step.

Getting elected doesn’t mean you’re effective.

Deserves how? DC rep is a retirement gig, with no actua, responsibility.

EHN is definitely getting old, but R. White is not my favorite either. Interesting however that he is running for this, while Oye Owolewa (current shadow representative) is running for Anita Bonds' council seat.

Oye should have run for this. He has more name recognition.

She will. She has no real competition.

I explained why in my original comment. And it’s replaced with “whom”, and my guess is that if the mayor is recalled the Council chairman would take over until a special election took place but I’m not sure, did you try looking it up first?

Bowser is from Ward 4 too. Why don’t you go back to the DC subreddit where low-information DC residents hang out in their echo chamber of imbecility. Or the Popville comment section. Both are probably more your speed.

No thanks on White. We haven't found the right person yet.

-1. We don't love her in my part of Ward 4. We can't stand her. Not responsive at all.

+1 on JLG not being responsive. I guess if you completely agree with her and tell her how awesome she is then your office will respond with a “yes agree!” Otherwise? Nothing.
