[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burleith resident here:

People here - especially newer younger families (like us) - are hungry for new blood. Our new ANC rep, Kishan Putta, beat out part of the old guard who took his seat for granted. I see similar trends in this race.

If Kennedy makes a concerted effort to campaign and hits the pavement hard to meet Ward 2 residents, he will have a real chance. Jack has phoned it in for decades, he didn't even both to campaign last time.

Unfortunately, I think Kennedy won't be the only primary candidate. If two other candidates jump in the race, then it really dilutes the "change" vote and Jack squeaks by with a measly plurality (like 35-40%). There's a lot of older residents in my neighborhood who don't like change. Jack is a known quantity, despite the fact that he's overseen the decline of Wisconsin Ave.[/quote]

Thanks for this response! This basically mirrors what I had thought, though is a little more optimistic on Kennedy's chances.[/quote]
