[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In his late filing (he hasn't gotten one in on time at all) Krucoff showed 16 whole donations, many of them not even in Ward 3.

What is the opposite of a red wave?

I mean even the anti bike lane people aren't giving to him.[/quote]

I don't know about that.  The most recent filing (as of 10/31/2022) showed a total of just shy of $11k from individual District residents and just shy of $2k for individual non-District residents.

Matt's had $45k for DC residents and $5.6k for non-DC residents.  So Krucoff gets a wee-bit more proportionately from non-DC residents (probably because the TERROR THAT IS BIKE LANE ON CONN AVE), but not by a ton - 15% vs. like 11% for Matt.[/quote]

You are missing the point. In the last month, the bike lanes have been the central issue of Krucoff's campaign. There have been hundreds of posts on the local email lists and in this forum, and yet, he had a whopping 16 whole donations, and only 13 from people who live in Ward 3.

I am not sure how that kind of excitement makes him a remotely viable candidate. It certainly speaks to the "enthusiasm" of the anti bike lane mob.[/quote]

I think this is just further proof that very few people in Ward 3 actually know that this proposal has been approved.  Those who would be in favor of less invasive safety improvements are generally busy working parents who have happy lives and don’t, unfortunately, have time to babysit their ANC representatives.

Between this forum, the neighborhood listservs, the various ANC and DDOT meetings, there has been plenty of time for engagement. For me personally, I have spoken to several of my neighbors who 1) knew of the plan 2) support the plan 3) never posted on the listserv about it and 4) don't think it is a big deal.

DC has over 180 boards and commissions with decision making power.  Do you know what all of them are up to?  For gods sake it’s exhausting trying to push back on all the crazy stuff the Council is trying to do.  I just don’t have any energy left to deal with the crazy ANCs.  [/quote]
