A lot of people will be surprised when T. White does better than R. White, but I won’t.

T. White is the guy pushing the anti-Jewish myth? Uh no. DC deserve good leadership. He’s neither good nor a leader.

He apologized for those comments and hasn't made any anti-jewish remarks since then.

Oh, so he must have complete and totally recanted his beliefs that the Rothschild family controls the weather. That’s a relief. I mean for a minute there I almost thought that normal, intelligent people would vote for someone who believes that a Jewish family controls the climate. I mean imagine that. A council member getting $180,000 a year and yet still holding completely nonsensical, idiotic and insane beliefs and still being in charge of an entire ward of the city. It’s great that he recanted these anti-Semitic comments and your post has completely assuaged my concerns about his capability.

Regardless of whether or not he has made anti-Jewish remarks since then (and his apology tour at the Holocaust Museum does not exactly inspire confidence in the sincerity of his mea culpa), anybody who sincerely believes that the weather can be controlled by a shadowy transnational group - Jewish or otherwise - does not deserve to hold public office.

Oh well...plenty of white politicians say and do harmful things and they don't even bother to apologize. I'm voting for T. White

I’d love to hear your thoughts on flat earthers, reptilian people and whether birds are real.

Yup. Antisemtism is fun.

Engaging in Anti-Blackness is fun for a lot of people on here as well...

Yeah, I don’t know about that, but I’m not voting for Trayon White because of anti-stupidness.

Anyone who would spout those types of anti-Semitic thoughts must hold other insane views.

This possibility is the only thing driving me to vote for Bowser. Otherwise, I would stay home.

I’m not voting in protest.

That’s how we got Trump.

Who though? I can’t in all honesty support more Bowser but the Whites are both scary terrible

I feel your pain, believe me. But I will hold my nose and vote Bowser because the other choices are worse. I have no illusions she gives a damn about my family but I can’t not vote.

Yes, yes! I feel the same way and will vote for Bowser. She’s the lesser evil and at least she’s a known quantity. I can’t believe no one more qualified is running against her.
Please vote, everyone.

Throughout the pandemic, Bowser has done a great job with getting vaccines out, rapid tests, PCR testing. And now with each ward having a COVID center, it's been impressive.

I also like that she was tough on the WTU when they wanted to keep schools closed for a longer period of time, which we now know, and many of us knew then, is a disastrous thing to do to kids.

Bowser has my vote.

Did a great job getting vaccines out? It was a SH*TSHOW. I drove up to Pennsylvania to get mine after waiting weeks and not being allowed to sign up since I was in Ward 3.

She could have done better but she did a good job. People like you were not going to be happy unless you were first in line. It seemed like ages, but it actually only took weeks before everyone had access. I am also impressed by the fire station testing she set up, and now the covid centers. Anyway, it was the progressives that insisted that vaccines should be allocated based on factors other that eagerness to be first in line. If we left it to progressives like R White claims to be, Ward 3 would have had to wait longer.

Yes, I agree that nothing under Bowser has been perfect. And the covid response was still pretty good. When I compared our access to vaccines, PCR tests, rapid tests to some adjoining counties, we were actually way ahead! I can be pissed now that schools were closed so long, but I admit that at the time I didn't want to send my kids. I was scared of covid! My teenager didn't want to go at all, and my elementary kid was learning online ok.

Bowser is not perfect by any means, but we don't have any better candidates.

On schools, Bowser tried to open in Nov and I give her credit for that. Then she continued to push for Feb by getting teachers vaccine access. One of the most interesting political things she did on schools was give principals a lot of individual discretion in reopening. This meant that schools could be flexible based on what the immediate community would accept. The downside to that was that some principals were too conservative; but in places where parents wanted their kids in school, it happened. Given the failure in Nov, I think this was the best way to get kids back & demonstrate it was OK and safe.

Yes it was the best way to go about it. The November plan would have been a disaster

Same.

I would love someone to tell me what they like about R White that’s not “he’s not bowser”. He seems to have placed himself to the left of bowser on a lot of issues (crime, covid, etc…), which I really don’t want for our city. I would consider voting R or 3 rd party, but know nothing about those candidates.

This election is only the primary, so you'll likely have the chance to explore non-Democratic candidates between now and the November general election.

I really like that Bowser didn't support the principals with things like COVID coordinators even though she promised them. More work for the principals is a good thing, right? I mean, it's not like they had other challenges to work on this year. Way to go, half-ass Bowser!

Everyone I know got theirs in Maryland. Either Salisbury or 6 Flags.

Yup. I like to pay close attention to who those people politically support because it provides me a good understanding of which politicians they feel are sympathetic to their views.
