Charles Allen faces recall effort

Allen disputes the idea that his reforms are the cause of the crime surge, noting other cities with similar reforms saw crime fall. And he says his policy agenda has always been shaped by constituents who buttonhole him about problems large and small. “Ward 6 sent me back time and again to the Council because that’s the reputation I have,” he told me. “I’ve heard from so many residents that are just frustrated with an effort like this. They feel like, rather than being part of a solution, they’re trying to leave Ward 6 without even representation or a voice.”


That's true, advocacy groups like the Violent Felonies Guild, the Public Defecation League, the Public Stunts Alliance, and Carjackers Local 3068 are all 1000% against his recall.

Don’t forget the Fake Teachers Union and Boardbooks for a Million (Dollars), and Brick Throwers United.

We are appalled by this unjust recall as well.

The Politico article is damning. This guy’s career in Democratic Party is shot. No wonder he’s so desperate to hold on to the council seat

The hubris of this council knows no bounds.

I’m not a big fan of Charles Allen, but running a recall campaign without a new candidate is indeed a pointless waste of time and money. He ran unapposed last time. The recall is basically just an effort to use the electoral system to harass him but without actually making the effort to run a candidate. I find it troubling.

I disagree. The message needs to be sent about the voters not being ignored. Also an empty chair would be better and do less damage

It will be empty then he will be re-elected. Stupid.

If crime keeps on this trajectory he will not be reelected. Capitol Hill is a war zone.

Good listening


My favorite quote by the host after he listened to Allen interactions with the constituents: “the hubris behind how patronizing [Allen] is!”

Do DC local politicians ever go anywhere in the Democratic party anyways? The D operatives in the Politico article make it sound like DC council is beneath the notice of most people in politics. Almost described the recall as solely to slap DC clowns back into reality.

I don’t think he will. I think he’ll be ditched by the Dems and can try as an independent but at that point he’s over

This man is finished. No matter what. That’s why he’s so desperate to hold on to this job. Who’s gonna hire him? Maybe one of 17 offices for redistribution of taxpayer $ and DC budget to friends and associates that DC founded?
