That's why you can't have really old people in office, they become rigid and dogmatic and think they know what is best for everyone.

Considering the massive margins of her election victories, your view is decidedly in the minority.

I think she realized her time was up. A lot of people really hate her now.

She still would have won with 70% of the vote.

She would have won again in a landslide and you know it.

Yup. She’s going out on top and on her own terms. I know - you hate that.

Ward 3 doesn't need defending from the city government. It needs defending from Mary Cheh's developer friends who supported her smart growth plan which was actually just a front for big money real estate firms.

This is a really awesome site that a local activist created

City Paper marks it as between Phil Thomas (a Bowser employee and Ward 3 Dem insider) Matthew Frumin (longtime DCPS advocate and former chair of Robert White for Mayor 2022 campaign) and Tricia Duncan (head of the Palisades Community Association) based on fundraising.

She had zero chance of winning anyway.

I would like to see the math on this statement

It is so naive and unsubstantiated as to be disqualifying.

Liberals are great. Representation matters, except when Black folk disagree with you.
