Silverman, Nadeau, George, and Lazere will kill any chance we had for statehood by allowing the Socialists to turn us into a laughingstock and bankrupting our city.

It is true that our council and mayors have taken half measures and performative steps rather than the kind of meaningful change that needs to happen.

You're smoking something strong if you think that dancing for the Republicans is going to get us statehood. Let's do the right thing and the R's (and D's) who are holding out can go F themselves.

As a 30 year resident of DC I can tell you that I have never cared about Statehood.

It was a response to the PP who said "Silverman, Nadeau, George, and Lazere will kill any chance we had for statehood"

That's just dumb logic. So, I guess good for you for not caring?

I am voting for issues that affect my daily life. I was on the floor of the House in 1993 during the first Statehood vote. I am not going to waste my vote on that when what I really care about are kids being educated in DC Public Schools.

The absurd size of this field is a recipe for a bad outcome, because whoever makes the most yard signs probably will win. Instead of a qualified candidate, we're gonna be stuck with the person with the biggest Kinko's account. Great.

You should press your CM for Ranked Choice Voting. I believe Lazere has said he supports this.

Ironic, considering the only race Lazere could possibly win is one with 24 candidates in it and no ranked choice voting.

Glad you after that Lazere has morals as opposed to some of the self-serving councilmembers we have.

I don't think you actually know his appeal across the city in a smaller race. Hopefully we'll find out next election cycle with him as the incumbent.

Mendo stomped him by nearly 30 percentage points in a two-candidate primary race in 2018, so his "appeal across the city in a smaller race" has proven to be pretty low.

It was always going to be difficult to beat an incumbent. Why do you hate Ed so much? Seriously. You haven't actually given any substantive reason. I actually took the time to listen to the candidates. I've also worked in city government and am familiar with the real issues. We need really smart experienced people on Council, not newbies.

So you appreciate Ed Lazere's positions on DC Public Schools? I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was.

He understands the issues on education. I want that person. I personally like smart people. What can I can. I need policy wonks these days.

Not about Ed, but to the point of smart experienced people. Chander J has been serving on his ANC for 8 + years, I believe currently as Chair. Very actively, so I don't see that as a "newbie". I also like that he's an independent. I like that for City Council. Need some freshening up there. He legit reminds me of Tony Williams. Decent person and to the point with problem-solving. Not a lot of foo-fa .

PP here -I'll certainly check him out. I was really responding to this person who clearly works for Marcus Goodwin and seems to hate Ed Lazere.

Isn't Chander a Republican?

That said, I'm sure he'll win.

I’m guessing GGW knows this. They went as far as a dual endorsement and probably decided it’s not worth further antagonizing an incumbent who will probably be voting on policies they advocate.

Are you asking does he personally vote Republican— in this city? Ha! He has been in the ANC for years and all seats are non-partisan.

I don’t know him personally either but he’s done a good job balancing small business and neighbor issues over here. I don’t know if he’s a big enough name to complete city wide but I appreciate his service on the ANC

I'm talking about his philosophies. What drives him, guides his actions. Sounds kind of looks A George W. Bush type. Not interested.

Lazere owes the unions the same unions that funded him at DCFPI and now expect his support on their pet projects that come before the council. If that isn’t corruption I don’t know what is?

What are you talking about?

Unions... that are made of people? I live in DC and while I'm not part of a union, I'd rather stand with them than big money from out of state. Just look at the WTU. They have or backs in protecting our kids, and us. The big money types are trying to save real estate value.

It's pretty hilarious that there's clearly one Lazere supporter here pretending to be multiple Lazere supporters, having a phony conversation with themselves.
