[quote=Anonymous] :twisted: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Allen for sure[/quote]

Yet, Allen will get re-elected in a landslide if he runs.  Go figure.[/quote]

Yes, bc despite what the people of DCUM think, the world doesn't revolve around them and their opinions.[/quote]

The voters fired Elissa Silverman.  They can do the same with Allen.[/quote]

And I'd say there's a good chance they'll fire Janeece, which will be a bellwether of things to come.[/quote]

Maybe. Elissa was involved in a city wide campaign against a popular former CM whom many think is going to be the mayor. JLG and Allen are both in standalone wards with strong followings, despite what this site seems to feel.[/quote]

Incumbents with so-called "strong followings" do not get viable, well-funded primary challengers, as is happening in Ward 4. JLG is extremerely vulnerable.

Allen only ran unopposed because he did everything he could to get his most viable challenger redistricted to Ward 7.[/quote]

I guess we'll see. I'm usually a passive part of the electoral process, but the way Lisa (who I know reads this site based on her post on the other thread) is attacking JLG with crime reply style posts and retconning her career as if she was a cop has already caused me to donate to JLG and sign up to volunteer. [b]I think Gore is going to fall firmly in the green team side[/b], and I don't think they're as strong in W4 as they used to be. Could be wrong tho, I have been before![/quote]

I'm still not sure why JLG supporters keep bringing this up despite an utter lack of evidence evidence. Even the CityPaper reporter, who is an unabashed JLG fan, reported that there's no evidence that Gore is in cahoots with Bowser. Gore herself denies it.

It's such a desperate reach, but that's the one talking point they seem to be going with.[/quote]

18 months ago this was her platform: "Gore, 54, lives in Hawthorne and is a retired federal agent. She said her priority is to provide housing for those in need and create housing policies that build equity for people, such as community land trusts. She wants to fight against displacement of Black and Brown people and repair public housing, along with ensuring housing for other groups, such as LGBTQ+ youths, people with disabilities, seniors and victims of domestic violence. Gore has experience in investigating public housing authorities and other housing programs. Her endorsements include Greater Greater Washington."

I believe that the fact that she's completely shifted to a law and order campaign to try and displace JLG wasn't something that she came up with all on her own. It's like a completely different person running.[/quote]

Who cares. Wouldnt you rather be represented by someone who is willing to listen to her constituents' concerns? [b]JLG is hard left activist who is never, ever, ever going to support any crack down on crime, no matter how bad it gets [/b]and no matter how much her ward pleas with her to change. [/quote]

I'm in her ward and am not pleading for her to change. I support her stances. I have a feeling there are more of us than you may believe. I particularly think the bolded is hyperbole and not a particularly intelligent opinion.[/quote]
