Who cares? A stooge? That's hardly the worst thing in the world.


We've had it with Bowser for years and it sucks. Unless you're in her inner circle. No thanks to more of that.


I think people are referring to the voting for "lesser of two evils" situation. Since both candidates such, which one sucks less in your opinion?


I don't think either sucks, but I am leaning toward Janeese Lewis George. I think we're ready for something new and different and I don't get all the hype here about her being a catastrophe. We can, in fact, do new good things without wrecking the city.

I don't think Kenyan McDuffie has bad political positions, but he sounds so insincere. I don't think he'd actually do anything meaningfully good.

What are you thinking?


I think JLG thinks that every business owner or homeowner is rich. How will you pay for universal child care. I love it, but are you going to raise my taxes in this economy? Why are you so supportive of tenant rights? I want to be empathetic, but I know so many homeowners who rented their homes and got stuck with deadbeat renters and they still have to pay the mortgage. Or small business owners. It's so hard to do business in the city. Why create more red tape and why is it so hard compared to other jurisdictions. Would love to pay more to restaurant workers, but most restaurant owners are not rich so it is very hard to pay these higher wages. I hear her ideas, but what offsets them? How do we get more revenue in the city? How do we get more efficiency in city government. What does she want to do with schools? She's never had a real leadership role and you want to run the city? She is my councilmember and her office is a mess. I just can't.


I second this as a Ward 4 resident as well. She’s all smoke a mirrors. Wants to show sympathy to criminals when they are running havoc in the city.


I'm a ward 4 resident too, and I've seen her get involved directly to solve things that the mayor wasn't working on. Definitely voting for Janeese.


Another Ward 4 resident and I haven't seen her do ANYTHING. No thanks. She's an amateur.


Do you send your kids to private school? If you've been involved in public school issues you'd see.


DP, Ward 4 resident active in public school issues and Janeese has been awful and done absolutely nothing for schools from rats to snow shoveling to blundering the Military Rd site. Hard hard pass

"Active in public school issues" must mean something pretty different to you. Other parents I know are fed up with the Bowser way and are ready for someone who cares.

By the way, Bowser was responsible for rats and snow clearing. Janeese will be a big step up.

DP but JLG is the Chairperson of the Committee on Facilities. Rats in schools is definitely her job. She serves on the Committee on Public Works too but I'm not entirely sure that covers snow removal.

Just cosplaying on the web to get the younger demographic.


It's odd that she isn't putting a party affiliation on her sign that isn't the party whose primary she is running in?



It's odd that she explicitly chooses not to be a Democrat, but claims to be one on her signs! A registered Republican could run in the Democratic primary, but that won't make that person a Democrat.

Yep, capital of the country, super educated population, and completely controlled by the “good” party. This is the best democracy can manage.

Wow, it feels like there's a solid Republican presence on this board. Are you all MAGA Republicans or just their enablers?

A big problem is that federal employees cannot run for elective office.

Janeese like Mamdami including being a rabid anti-Semite

NO!!!!! There was a woman campaigning on my block a few weeks ago, collecting signatures so she can appear on the ballot. Hope Solomon. Gary Goodweather. Please, make sure these two get on the ballot and rank them ahead of JLG and Kenyan.

JLG's problem is she thinks she'll be some Mamdani figure but she's nowhere near as smart or charismatic as Mamdani so it'll just be chaos.

It's not MAGA to want a normal Democrat. We have already seen what happened when we had a moderate Dem. mayor with her hands tied behind her back by a leftist city council. Nothing. At least with the current city council, Bowser was in place to check them, with a leftist city council and a communist mayor this city will be a nightmare.

I wish Bowser would stay and we could just totally redo city council. I'd keep Frumin and Pinto but we've got to get rid of the others.

It's definitely MAGA to call Democrats communists.

I didn't call Democrats communists. I called Janeese Lewis George and Kenyan McDuffie communists.

Well Janeese Lewis George has always been a Democrat. Kenyan McDuffie will be whatever party suits him but I don't think he's ever been part of the communist party.

Is this when you start ranting about cultural marxism? Are you all done with DEI, CRT, etc and back to this?

Yep, that's me. I hate DEI and CRT, that's why I want a Democrat to vote for in the mayoral race.

God you people are exhausting, and why we keep losing.
