[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see he has two challengers now? Any thoughts? [/quote]

One is a Chevy Chase NIMBY, the other is a very young YIMBY urbanist. Both will draw from core constituencies if they can get their messages out, but Frumin is the incumbent and is a centrist compared to both of these challengers, who could not be more diametrically opposite from each other.[/quote]

I don't know if I'd say early-30s is "very young", bur maybe "younger" which is not necessarily a bad thing.[/quote]

His experience is a, what, 2 term ANC commissioner who advocated for bike lanes and helped the Main Street on his single member district.  Frumin was on ANC 3E for years and was its chair for a stretch. He also was the head of the Tenley Main Street board, as well as several education and housing boards with results. He advocated for bike lanes and the mayor changed her mind because of f downtown and ward 3 business complaints. But he has a win in getting dmped moving with the Chevy Chase project.

Is he the best Ward Councilmemebr ever? No. Does his seniority and committee oversight of dmped give Ward 3 some advantages if he stays in office? Most likely. A freshmen council member doesn’t get a committee chair. Is it worth losing that for an aging NIMBY or a ‘young’ ANC commissioner who has less experience and contacts in the ward and city? Not to my eye. [/quote]
