[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they move Navy Yard into Ward 8, I'm pretty sure you can get rid of Trayon![/quote]

I thought Trayon's views on weather control were generally accepted in DC and he's popular enough to make a run for mayor. [b]Good luck getting rid of him. [/b][/quote]

Results of the 2020 Ward 8 Democratic Primary:

Trayon White	 58.2% 	5,063 votes
Mike Austin	 27.3% 	2,376
Yaida Ford	           7.5% 	656
Stuart Anderson	   4.7% 	405
Other/Write-in      2.3% 	197

The Navy Yard adds about 5600 residents to Ward 8. I think a well-funded, business-focused African-American candidate can unseat Trayon. The campaign will hinge on turning out Navy Yard in a huge bloc and then lots of advertising in traditional Ward 8 - "What has Trayon actually done for you?" (hint: not a lot). Plus, you really think the middle and upper-middle class of Hillcrest really enjoy Trayon? I doubt it.

I honestly think there is a good chance Trayon can be unseated in 2024. [/quote]
