[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The coming June elections in DC are perhaps the most important decision point for the city in decades.

Bottom line: the choice is between the status quo — keeping the same policies — and change to make the city better. Based on our experience, there’s no question that Janeese Lewis George is the candidate of change, the candidate for a better and stronger city and school community.

Meanwhile a vote for the other major mayoral candidate, Kenyan McDuffie, is a vote for the status quo, and the poor governance and weak vision of the Muriel Bowser era in DC.

[/b]In DC, the mayor has near-complete control of DC government, and specifically control of DC Public Schools (DCPS). The mayor is responsible for running all the DC agencies. [/quote]

post focusing on schools and the mayoral race.

I talk to a lot of parents in Ward 3 / EOTP public schools and in general it seems like people underrate how important the mayor is for DC schools. I still remember the Michelle Rhee and Fenty days. Those were not great. :/

JLG is the high-risk high-reward candidate. Maybe she's the next Mamdani and pleasantly surprises everyone, or maybe she's the reason we get control board 2.0. McDuffie is the political equivalent of a punt. Just waste the next 4 years and hope someone better runs.

I'm leaning towards JLG at the moment just because I think DC needs a bit of sharking up. [/quote]
