[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot wait for a DC Council member to be elected after receiving like 15,000 votes.

The absurd size of this field is a recipe for a bad outcome, because whoever makes the most yard signs probably will win. Instead of a qualified candidate, we're gonna be stuck with the person with the biggest Kinko's account. Great. [/quote]

You should press your CM for Ranked Choice Voting.  I believe Lazere has said he supports this.[/quote]

Ironic, considering the only race Lazere could possibly win is one with 24 candidates in it and no ranked choice voting.[/quote]

Glad you after that Lazere has morals as opposed to some of the self-serving councilmembers we have.

I don't think you actually know his appeal across the city in a smaller race.  Hopefully we'll find out next election cycle with him as the incumbent.[/quote]

Mendo stomped him by nearly 30 percentage points in a two-candidate primary race in 2018, so his "appeal across the city in a smaller race" has proven to be pretty low.[/quote]

It was always going to be difficult to beat an incumbent.  Why do you hate Ed so much?  Seriously.  You haven't actually given any substantive reason.  I actually took the time to listen to the candidates.  I've also worked in city government and am familiar with the real issues.  We need really smart experienced people on Council, not newbies.[/quote]

Not about Ed, but to the point of smart experienced people. Chander J has been serving on his ANC for 8 + years, I believe currently as Chair. Very actively, so I don't see that as a "newbie". I also like that he's an independent. I like that for City Council. Need some freshening up there. He legit reminds me of Tony Williams. Decent person and to the point with problem-solving. Not a lot of foo-fa .[/quote]

Isn't Chander a Republican?[/quote]

Are you asking does he personally vote Republican— in this city?  Ha!  He has been in the ANC for years and all seats are non-partisan. [/quote]
