Democrats for Education Reform (Bowser, Goulet etc)

[Anonymous]

I mean, the people supporting the smearing of DFER, a d all of the innuendo, were during business hours. I guess unions are allowed to hang out on DCUM but DFER isnt.

One does not need to smear DFER in order to tarnish Goulet. His words as reported do that enough.

There is no reason to question his character. He has revealed it for all to read and hear.

Which is a totally different thread.

If they shared those results with him -- and he admits other results were shared -- they likely had a giant impact on this race.

Goulet is dirty and if he wins a large part of it is because of illegal campaing contributions.

Do you have
1) any description of what you're talking about regarding an illegal poll? Why is taking a poll illegal?
2) an evidence regarding your accusations about illegal contributions?

See the City Paper.

1) Taking a poll is legal. Sharing private poll results not in the public domain with a candidate is an illegal in-kind contribution. Likely entails illegal coordination too.
2) The WCP reported (https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/558653/eric-goulet-says-hes-seen-a-poll-in-the-ward-3-race-hes-telling-shifting-stories-about-how-he-got-it/) that there was a recording of Goulet saying someone called him to give him the poll results.

Wow the connection to DFER is all rumor.

DFER is openly supporting Goulet.

I do not remotely support the WTU. (One of Laura Fuchs' nastier tweets was about me, directly after I spoke at a public meeting.)

Don't conflate distrust of Goulet and disdain for his campaign's (illegal) tactics with support for the WTU.

FWIW, I'm a DCPS teacher and not particularly a WTU supporter, but Laura Fuchs is not synonymous with what teachers think. She's just the loudest voice. I do support public education and dislike what DFER stands for, but I don't think its very productive to make this a WTU vs. DFER discussion

It would be useful for OP to come back and explain how DFER is "right wing", as they claim. I can't understand who would be making that claim beyond XXX group.

Look at their funding sources: https://dferdinos.com/

Sorry this seems like a conspiracy theory. This isn't a good source.

Follow the links. Funding sources are funding sources. Or are you saying the state level filings are false?

Do you have a source that is not the teachers unions, DFER's main political rival?

A source for what? Receiving a ton of Goulet mailers send by DFER DC?

The teachers union has backed Matt Frumin in the Ward 3 race. Though I don't love how they attempted to shut schools back down, I also really dislike how Goulet's campaign has been run and the way that DFER interferes with local politics. There are lots of choices that are not backed by either of these groups, though! I'm voting for Tricia Duncan in Ward 3. She has one kid at a public school and one at a charter and understands how we need to approach fixing our city's education system from all sides. That's why she supports building the two new public schools in Ward 3 at Foxhall and Palisades, something both Goulet and Frumin have not been supportive of.

Goulet is not a public school parent. I am not a single issue voter but education/schools are important to me and this gives me pause.

[Anonymous]

I am supporting Frumin. He has a more nuanced approach to the education issue that makes a lot of sense to me. But he is also better on issues like transportation and affordable housing than the others.
