Kenyan or Janeese?

Had they ever in the past? Had there ever been White, Hispanic, Asian, etc. mayors in DC?

Which of the candidates is the most moderate, NOT soft on crime, pro-removing homeless encampments, more police, cleaner streets, etc?

Kenyan. Janeese's enthusiasm for spending city funds on the "violence interruptor" graft/gravy train should be reason enough to disqualify her. I want a candidate who believes the police when they explain (as they have repeatedly) that there is a relatively small number of people who commit most of the chronic violent crime in DC and focusing on getting those people off the street improves life for everyone. The Council progressives (and the AG) seemed devoted to the proposition that violent offenders ---especially juveniles---should just be immediately released back into the neighborhoods they are busy victimizing.

You are not crazy. We need to vote against soft on crime candidates.

I’m a regular voter, midterm and general, and I feel like this might be one of the races where my vote really matters. I know I shouldn’t be asking a parenting forum ridden with trolls for advice but cest la vie! As a mother of four my main issue is DCPS related stuff but I’m also passionate about standing up to Trump and fixing crime. Could someone with knowledge on this issue give me some guidance?

Thank you so much,
Marlene

Janeese is about the last person on earth who will "fix crime." She is a walking stereotype of a soft-on-crime politician who seems to care more about criminals than their victims. A few years ago, her main issue was defunding the police. On schools, she will support more funding for DCPS but basically every single Democrat in DC supports that so no difference there. She opposes raising academic standards and creating gifted and talented programs and tracking kids by ability. She thinks all of that is racist. Janeese is the far left candidate. Kenyan is the mainstream liberal Democrat.

Home rule would end under JLG. Trump would say "look at this crazy person" and take it away and declare himself mayor.

I remember hearing similar predictions about Mamdani. And yet they seem to be getting along swimmingly.

Mamdani is really shrewd and personally charismatic. I have no doubt that Janeese is intelligent, but she's strident and unlikable as soon as she gets the impression you're not approaching her with adulation and gifts. Kind of Trump-like in that regard, honestly. She would think she was really winning one for the home team by screaming in his face or something and I agree with PP, as soon as someone explained to Trump what Home Rule is he would end it and start putting his name on DC government buildings.

My interactions with her suggest that you have never interacted with her. She is very approachable.

DP here. I wouldn't do. She has ignored every attempted outreach by me (a W4 constitutent), including when my wife was a victim of crime and the police never responded.

*know, not do. Also for the record also underwhelmed by Kenyon and hoping for a third candidate to emerge

How will this 3rd candidate "emerge"? IDK why we always have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.. It's getting old.

Why not a MAGA mayor? If we appease Trump enough it should work out well for us.

Home rule will end if Janeese is elected. She is a bad stereotype of a loony liberal who cares more about criminals than their victims.

Republican does not equal competence, efficiency or vision, as the President and Congress have shown us.

This post is from Janeese's office. This is what she does. If you criticize her in any way, she accuses you of being MAGA. Beware. This is the kind of person she is.

It's strange you would defend this. It makes Janeese seem awfully immature.

Lol, wrong. The more desperate you get the more you make stuff up. Kind of sad.

+1000 It's exhausting, and it's really how she interacts with her own consituents in person too. If you are telling her you voted for her it's hugs and smiles, if you are asking for any assistance or pointing out a problem in your neighborhood it's "why aren't you a real progressive?!" even if that's entirely beside the point. A friend had a kid setting fires in her alley - multiple occasions, caught on camera, they knew where the kid lived, he eventually caught a person's garage on fire and narrowly avoided jumping to the house before the FD got there - and Janeese's response when they reached out for help getting an extra patrol or maybe a social services person to come by his house was essentially "you want me to sic the police on a black child??!" Call me crazy but a kid with a demonstrated arsonist bent needs intervention. Does she think the way to be his champion is just avoid the issue until he kills someone and then he has to live with that and potentially go to prison? Have we proven how lefty we are when it hits that point??
