| Even if Nadeau wins this entire episode is completely embarrassing for a two term council member and spells the end of her political career. |

Can we put a pin in this to reevaluate in four years? |

| We cannot. This self-serving smug wonkette dilettante has been such a big negative in my family’s and our neighbors’ lives. I actually can’t think of two worse politicians for our Ward than Trump and Nadeau. Cut of the same cloth, on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. I hope Ward 1 sends a resounding message. |

| Please people vote Salah, even if you don’t like him. We have to save what’s left, particularly for the girls and boys growing up here |

| People DESPISE her and they’ve never even met her, just based on her dishonesty and track record. 2 mandates and hasn’t mentioned crime on her Twitter since 2019, tells neighbors to soundproof their homes if they don’t like the noise and illegal vehicles and dangerous driving in a year children have died in traffic accidents. |

| She deserves to lose. I’m worried that incumbency and name recognition would prevail for her to scrape a win |

Maybe people are wrong that she’s never there for her alleged constituency hours? She doesn’t actually look like her photos.

Four unknown individuals were operating the ATVs in the 2600 block of Branch Avenue, Southeast, when they got involved in a verbal altercation with a man at approximately 7:51 p.m., MPD said. That's when police say one of them pulled out a gun and shot in the direction of the man, police said.
Soundproof our houses huh? Maybe get antiballistic gear too for the evening walk with kids? Nadeau MUST GO!!! |

This is an interesting set of posts from her voters directly calling her out:

However, to paraphrase the recent wisdom of one of her colleagues — at-large member Elissa Silverman — it’s not about the amount of money, it’s about the outcomes.
Pockets of Ward 1, especially Columbia Heights, have been battling crime for years without significant change. In February 2019, the month after Nadeau began her second term, a public exchange on DC Urban Moms and Dads revealed residents’ dissatisfaction. “There were improvements before Nadeau arrived and MPD leadership changed,” noted one resident, who like the others was listed as anonymous. “The problems have become more pronounced” in Columbia Heights and Park View “since she was elected.” “All she seems to care about is decriminalizing behavior and encouraging citizens not to call the police to keep ‘vulnerable populations’ out of jail,” wrote the Ward 1 resident in the discussion titled “Does Brianne Nadeau care about her job?” |

| I'm not in Ward 1, but the attacks on Salah have been atrocious. |

I love Jonetta Rose Barras. If you compare this to the current “Loose Lips” you realize how much of a step down the City Paper has gone. |

| Her and Bonds are the epitome of incompetent, regardless of how you view their politics. Both are going to win simply on name recognition. |

Well white DC politicians generally have plateaued political careers. They won't be mayor and they can't run for Congress. How long have you lived here, anyway? |
