I've lived in DC proper for 29 years and W3 for nine. The only person I've heard of among those who allegedly are running is Frumin.[/quote]
That’s only because he has name recognition as a serial losing candidate. [/quote]

He's also been pushing DCPS to do something -- anything -- about DCPS overcrowding in Ward 3, going to back to before the Ellington renovation when he pushed DCPS to move it to a more logical, central location and reopen that building as a general high school.

That's going to go a long way with W3 voters, many of whom are DCPS parents.[/quote]

Can't agree with the last sentence. Overall DC has a rather small proportion of families with children, which is one of the reasons DCPS can get away with being so mismanaged. Ward 3 has the highest percentage of kids in private school, about 50%. While parents of DCPS kids are organized and vocal they are few in number. [/quote]

This is correct, and yet, the nature of a primary like this one (with, like, 27 candidates, all with low name ID and no incumbent) makes it such that if you can lock up most of the "parents of current DCPS students" vote, you'll probably win. [/quote]
