What about Ward 3? Is there a Frumin recall?

Feel free to take up the significant work of trying to mount one.

TBH, a Frumin recall effort probably has a better chance of success than an Allen recall effort. Just about everyone in Ward 3 thinks they were sold a bill of goods with him and want him out. He really does seem incompetent. Allen at least has some conviction behind his hilariously bad viewpoints. Frumin just seems like a bumbler.

Right, "actually informed." The article quotes Patrice Sulton and simply says she's "a civil-rights attorney who worked on the staff." It doesn't mention she's an anti-incarceration activist who founded DC Justice Lab.

This is what the extremists mean when they say "evidence-based"; cherry-picking information to push the narrative they want, while purposefully leaving out important facts that are inconvenient.

Well said.

Propaganda 101 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

And for the poster who asked if the article was DC Justice Lab propaganda, read the above.

Patrice Sulton's views are WELL outside the mainstream https://decarcerationnation.com/126-patrice-sulton-dc-justice-lab/ but have captured the Council to the extent that they largely drafted the defeated bill and the talking points for it. Without the influence of DCJL I doubt we would have a heinous murderer being elevated by the Council to the Sentencing Commission. Gee, I wonder if he is anti-carceral too? Meanwhile crime rates have sky rocketed, with most victims poor and black, and no voices of victim activists or family members of those killed or other types of victims are represented at all. Just multiple members of the anti-carceral crowd.

You may well be right about Frumin. We need a strong candidate and a less fragmented field when he is up again. I don't think he will be recalled.

Now that Silverman can't interfere with the race, maybe we'll actually get an honest one. He still has a long time left in his term, but I honestly do not see a path toward reelection for him. He's lost more or less all of CCDC -- or at least the portion of CCDC that actually votes -- with his stance on the community center/library redevelopement and the potentially disastrous plan for Connecticut Avenue bike lanes, and his slow-witted response to the growing crime in Ward 3 has been truly head-scratching. I think he's a one-termer, which is weird. I think a lot of people thought he would be laser-focused on one issue: public school overcrowding in Ward 3. He's done nothing on that apart from his Intelsat pipe dream. He's just a failure.

He’s completely unwelcome in Forest Hills. At least amongst the non felon population.

And what about conspiracy theorist and notorious antiSemitic Trayon White?

Surely the many Jewish voters in DC should easily be able to recall someone like him, shouldn’t they?

Not if they don't live in Ward 8. I'm going to guess there is not a sizable Jewish population there.

We need Silverman not to put her thumb on the scales.

Hopefully Silverman is done. Between her questionably legal “poll” which crucially helped Frumin and her support of a plan that gerrymandered a number of Ward 3 ANC seats and split neighborhoods, Silverman really screwed up things for us in the last DC election.

Agree and won't be surprised if he is a 1 termer. The Silverman thing was nuts. As was her former boss Karl Racine making videos to defend her (while AG!) in his bathroom mirror, dressed like a lumber jack. Felt like some Twin Peaks/House of Cards mash up. I think it's not unlikely that Racine will run for mayor himself.

It's really hard to understand how he was taken seriously in his former career, he just comes across poorly.

He is a big fan of JLG and her thinking re: juveniles, wonder how he may shift if Gore is elected?

I don't know that a recall of Allen can be successful but it does seem to have rattled him a bit. Nadeau is vulnerable too Ward 1 has REALLY declined while she has been on the Council, in very visible ways.

If Racine runs for mayor, I've been wondering if she will run again. Hope not, but DC does have a history with "resurrection" stories.

A Racine administration with Silverman back on the Council?

DSA paradise.

Racine has no business running for mayor. He’s the reason for the crime in DC, because he didn’t go after the juveniles.
