Is Frumin running again?

If there are businesses closing, it is a macroeconomic issue, that said, Frumin got expanded support for the different Main Street organizations across the Ward as well as the new BID in Friednship Heights.

There is only so much a Councilmember can do - they are not the Mayor where MPD is concerned, nor in terms of managing projects like the DC Water culvert on Albemarle Street, where the contractor has run into a number of issues that were not identified when the project was being scoped out more than 4 years ago.

Yes, crime spiked during Frumin's tenure and remains higher than before he was in office. Easily found by checking DC crime cards. And, more importantly, crime went up in Ward 3 while going down in others. https://crimecards.dc.gov/all:crimes/all:weapons/dated::10122022:10122025/in:Ward:3 Indeed, he should be accountable. He votes on crime bills, no?

You seem to suggest it just happened out of the blue. Of course, Frumin is to blame because he supports policy that directly correlate with that increase in crime. There is cause and effect at this point. If you look at a crime map for Ward 3 and track the incidents, you will find that many take place along the Connecticut Ave NW corridor near the voucher buildings. There are homicides in location where there never were in the decades prior.

All crime in ward 3 is up by almost 20 percent during the 3 year period (ending today) compared to the previous 3-year period. What has he ever done to tackle crime in the Ward, particularly in the areas where it has increased more dramatically? If crime rates are dropping now, we can attribute it to Draconian policing and not Frumin.

On the projects, the funding of the projects could be halted while the issue is sorted, no? Why should taxpayers bear that burden? How is Frumin helping us? How is he making Ward 3 safer for its residents?

In looking at his council website, it looks like has has actually done a lot.

But not enough that you could actually name here it seems.

He doesn't respond to email.

His office has been very responsive to me experience.

Several of us here were ghosted when asking him to address increasing crime.

This is nonsense.

You want to blame Frumin for policies that you believe increased crime in Ward 3 a couple of years ago, but not give him any credit for policies that you believe decreased crime in Ward 3 this year?

News flash: Frumin had nothing to do with any of these policies and neither does any single council-member.

You may have your issues with the way the city goes about housing formerly-homeless people and that’s fine. Many people from across the political spectrum have criticized how the program is run. After all, the only reason that Frumin is now the council-member is that his predecessor leveled a few criticisms of her own and got so much blowback she decided to quit the council.

In the off chance that you do actually care about the voucher program (rather than just trying to smear Frumin), I’d recommend you look into who actually administers it and take your issues up with them.

-1. Beyond being a cheerleader for the voucher program, Frumin literally cosponsored the legislation that decriminalized street vending. The result? Every convenience store and CVS in Ward 3 were looted regularly for two years. Some stores closed. All now lock up their merchandise. We all pay more because of this. Of course he famously voted in favor that disastrous crime “reform” bill. His instincts on crime policy are almost always wrong. We cannot have another four years of him.

Dollars to donuts you have absolutely no idea what was in the RCC bill and generally lack the critical thinking skills to distinguish between fact and political propaganda. But I will give you credit for creativity - drawing such a direct line from the decriminalization of street vending (something I don’t think I’ve ever seen anywhere in Ward 3, but carry on) to “regular looting” requires a very special mind.

Well, President Biden, Leader Chuck Schumer, Mayor Bowser, and 32 other Senate Democrats knew what was in the Council crime bill that Frumin voted for. And they sure didn’t like it. Pro tip: if a California senator thinks your crime bill is crazy, you need to find a new line of work.

And, btw, if you go to his web site, it is actually quite challenging to ascertain what he has accomplished. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but we need someone who's ALL in for Ward 3, rather than Ward 3 for all. We need someone who puts Ward 3 constituents first.

That question is just staggeringly tone deaf, like the man himself. What does anyone want an elected official to do? To govern and to enact legislation that improves the lives and livlihoods of the people represented by the elected official. To propose a plan on how to reduce crime in ward 3. To investigate why crime rose in ward 3 while dropping elsewhere in the district, etc. And to show care and concern for the people he represents.

All of which would seem to confirm that you indeed have absolutely no idea what was in the actual bill. You favor cheap talking points over actual analysis. If you did know what was in the bill, you would understand that prosecutors jobs are more difficult - and DC is therefore less safe - for that bill not becoming law. Not that Bowser, Schumer, or Biden have ever shown much interest in doing anything to help improve the quality of life in DC.

If you knew anywhere as much about the supposed problem of “skyrocketing crime in Ward 3” as you seem to believe you do, you would be telling us about that plan right now. But you don’t know anything about it and so all you have to offer is the dumbest platitudes about how your elected official should be doing more about something.

And you can’t even get the basic facts right. Here’s the data on crime in Ward 3: https://www.crimedatadc.com/ward/3

Where in all that is holy in that data is this rising crime you speak of?

Please list 5 of Frumin’s accomplishments on behalf of his ward 3 constituents. How has he made things better since Mary Cheh left? Can anyone highlight his accomplishments??

Oh wait, he helped bring the marijuana shop to Connecticut Ave, right? That’s a big win for us.
