The wall has been broken and the waters are rushing in. Time to stand up to outside money trying to buy our election.

I expect at least two others in the Ward 3 race to follow Duncan's lead.

With Racine and Cheh coming out for Frumin yesterday, I suspect other citywide voices will be coming out as well.

Elissa Silverman too.

Goulet.

I suspect that other CMs like Allen, Pinto, Robert White, and maybe even McDuffie or JLG will wade into the race as well

It would actually be more natural for them to support fellow Palisades resident Goulet and Goulet has a lot of support in Palisades, based on donations.

What are you talking about? Goulet's money is coming from Bentonville, AR, and Adelaide.

It's funny that everyone assiduously avoids mentioning that this same money is going to Bowser too. If it is so terrible that DFER is supporting Goulet that he must be stopped, then why is not terrible that they are also heavily supporting Bowser? And Mendelson? I guess that's politics for you.

Uh, a lot of us are voting for Robert White as well.

I think you might be confused by what “a lot” means. But thank you for identifying yourselves as local cranks.

Really? Polling today indicates it is a very close race. Are you saying half the city are local cranks?

Bowser will easily trounce R. White, which means that people that vote for him are outside the mainstream of the median
DC Democratic primary voter. When you are outside the mainstream of your own party to support a fringe candidate, it does make you a local crank. I don’t make the rules.

The word is that Silverman pushed candidates to stand down in favor of Frumin. If Frumin loses the Ward 3 Dem primary, it would be easy for his to pivot to an at-large race against Silverman in the fall. He ran against her before, and she’s increasingly unpopular.

Interesting. Meaning he'd run as an independent?

Strikes me as HIGHLY unlikely that Frumin would do this. But I wouldn’t put it past Goulet if he loses.

Thomas was the only Council candidate who stood up from the beginning against the Trumpy gerrymandering plan to split Ward 3 neighborhoods. Duncan never had the courage to disavow the task force, although it was clear weeks later that she realized she had been snookered. Frumin belatedly criticized the gerrymandering (he called it “disenfranchisement”) but only after entire neighborhoods had become energized against the split.

What are you talking about? Duncan is damn proud of her redistricting work.

Are you joking? Duncan loved the plan and she is pretty proud of it.

Frumin would not run as an independent for an at-large seat.

I really don't care about how the ANCs were drawn, but how is either way 'gerrymandering'? Seriously, I get why people want one or the other map, but how is it gerrymandering?
