Could be a smart ploy. I can only imagine the scandals Bowser will completely bungle between now and November.

| Please. We need someone besides Bowser |

| I feel like we desperately need someone to keep Bowser honest but I'm not sure this is smart politics for Gray. |

| At this point, I would be happy to have Gray back. Damn, Bowser is so corrupt I can't even believe it. And she's dumb. |

| Ethically, she’s become Mayor Marion B. Bowser. |

That’s a great subtle slight you should run for office yourself. Surely you can do better than Marion 2.0 right? |

| Bowser is not quite as corrupt as the mayor for life, but then again she's also not as smart. |

| I hope Gray does this. It opens the door to an independent Catania campaign. Split those votes!!!! |

Don't know. Like Gray a lot. He seems like a more effective politician in terms of getting his message across. But I still wonder about the campaign finance scandal. Maybe he knew nothing about it but then that means he was not on top of his own campaign. That doesn't look good either.
And whatever you want to say about Bowser, at least she is trying to find viable replacement options for the shelter at DC General. I loved Gray but the truth is he let that situation fester and he should have made an effort to address it. It might be that Bowser's real problem is that she doesn't know how to give a riproaring inspiring campaign speech. So should I not vote for her because she's a policy wonk? The reality is that I want to support Gray but I'm not sure that's a rational decision. |

| I have to think about this. I really don't want to vote for Bowser. Intrigued if there will be other independent challengers. |
