[quote=jsteele]Dionne Reeder is trying to unseat Elissa Silverman from a DC Council At-Large position due to Silverman's sponsoring of DC Paid Family Leave law. However, Reeder does not have a plan of her own. What kind of candidate does not have a plan for her main campaign issue?

[quote] But with twelve days to go until Election Day, Reeder has yet to propose a plan for her signature issue and says it’s unfair to ask her for one.

“I have not had the experience to actually sit and be able to create a policy document on every issue across the city,” said Reeder at a media meet-and-greet organized by her campaign on Thursday.

At this point it is obvious that Reeder is simply being used by the business community and Mayor Bowser to punish Silverman. There is no intention to seek a modified family leave law, but only to take a scalp because they are upset with Silverman.
