[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went back and looked at campaign issues in the last Ward 3 election. Crime was not even listed as an issue. That tells you how quickly things have spiralled out of control.

People, we need candidates! Retirees are great for this - they have plenty of time to give. Talk to your wise neighbors and colleagues, please!![/quote]

It was literally the first issue Krukoff listed!  Come on people, let’s do better next time.

DC Issues

Public Safety/Support Police and the Rule of Law: Crime is on the rise. We must invest in police and empower them to do their jobs, with empathy, but with the knowledge that we have their back. We need more police officers on the beat. A cost benefit analysis must occur prior to anyone breaking the law, even for a minor offense. Homeless encampments must be appropriately removed. Clean shelters with wrap around services must exist and be utilized for DC homeless residents that qualify.

Look, a Republican, commercial real estate developer, self-described private school "lifer" who moved to MoCo to send his kids to school then came back after they went to college to run for office as a Republican, is not going to get elected here no matter how much he talks about crime.

It should have been Goulet, who also was talking about the crime issue then (and now). [/quote]

I don't care if the candidate has been living on Mars for the past two decades, if they have the ability to successfully address crime, homelessness, substance abuse, school truancy and other problems, I'll vote for them (and I did vote for Krucoff). I don't need my candidates to have sent their kids to public school, I need them to make educational success a priority and to figure out how to empower experts in the field to do what's right for our schools. If you start making residency in DC for a prolonged period of time or sending your kids to public schools a litmus test for candidacy, you're going to miss out on people who might be able to take us in a better direction.
