[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I was not aware of her connections to developers. I have met her and yes, she seems abrasive.

I understand that Graham has had questionable dealings, but if Nadeau is truly being bankrolled by developers, I have concerns that she would just turn around and do the same.

I'm not in love with Graham, but he does constituent services very well, and that's important in a city council member. If you can't even survive as an ANC rep, I have to question whether you can do an effective job at that as a council member.

But, obviously Nadeau has some strong supporters out there who see something they like. I guess I'll be reading over her website again to see if I can figure it out.

I just looked through Nadeau's and Graham's campaign finance reports. I think the alleged connection of Nadeau is a figment of the earlier poster's imagination, if not an outright lie. I didn't see any contributions to Nadeau from developers. I supposed there could have been some individual contributions from developers whose names I didn't recognize, but I'm familiar with many, if not most, of the developer LLCs and none of them gave her any money. In contrast, Graham's report was full of developer contributions including:

McCullough Construction LLC
Capital Construction Enterprises, INC
2436 18th Street Associates LP
Congressional North Associ LP 
DC General Construction Inc
Its My Real Estate LLC
Jair Lynch
LEVEL 2 DEVELOPMENT LLC

This list may include some who are, strictly speaking, not developers. But, they are all involved in development. Moreover, Graham has received a ton of money from companies connected to gas and petroleum.

You can go to ocf.dc.gov yourself and check out the reports. No need to take my word for it (or the word of an anonymous poster who doesn't like the "girl" candidate).
