[quote=Anonymous]She is practical and tackles tough issues -- which her constituents contact her about, ie crime --  and so has the support of
many of her constituents. There's a reason no one is challenging her in Ward 2 this election cycle. I could see her running for Attorney General or moving onto federal government. 
Several of the CMs likely have future aspirations in the political realm (Robert White for Mayor next term, Charles Allen possibly if Mendo ever exits etc.) The Council is not generally coming up with common-sense legislation on many issues, just keeps taxing without looking at effectiveness /ROI,  and Pinto counterbalances that, IMHO. Now that she is in the role, I just care what she does to make the lives of District residents' lives better and will take her over CMs who don't understand the budgeting or legislative process or consistently talk out of both sides of their mouths. Finally, I think the CM who best understands how to govern and manage competing constituencies and find reasonable solutions is At-Large Christina Henderson. She would be the best person
to run for Mayor next cycle but I am not sure she will, preferring to wait until
later. Henderson is smart, experienced in various capacities of government service , detail-oriented, has a set of values she does not flip-flop on and does oversight well. She also is not beholden to former AG Karl Racine for helping her get elected like several of the current CMs or to monied interests per se.  [/quote]
