[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of the candidates for DC Council for Ward 3 are shamelessly trawling for votes in NIMBY land?

Goulet gave “Save Hardy Park” a shout-out in a recent tweet so I guess he either believes the lies the FCCA is pushing or cares more about their votes than he does about the truth.

Frumin was pandering to them too it seems by floating some fanciful ideas about finding somewhere else to put the school.

Have any of the candidates straight up called Avery and co. out? If Ward 3 doesn’t elect a candidate who has the balls to stand up to nincompoops of this ilk, absolutely nothing is going to get done in the Ward for the next 4 years.[/quote]

Frumin has raised the most money and Goulet got the wapo endorsement. The 4-5 'progressive' candidates are pretty much just diluting each others vote. My money is on the entire ES plan being scrapped. (The high school will probably still happen)[/quote]

Frumin’s fundraising advantage is entirely due to money raised from people outside the ward. Tricia Duncan has more Ward 3 contributors.

The Post endorsement is worthless and may even backfire. Goulet is getting a lot of negative press as well for things he has said about housing voucher recipients.

But you are dead right about the progressive candidates diluting the vote. They need to figure it out and get behind one candidate. I don’t expect they will, though, egos being what they are.[/quote]

There is only one viable 'conservative' candidate (Goulet). And for the life of me, I cannot figure out the difference between Duncan and Bergman on any issue. So I see it as either Frumin goes though with name recognition (not that is much here) or Goulet goes thorugh since all 25% of conservative dems vote for him. All the rest seem screwed. Now I might be wrong and one of them may have good 'ground' game, but the jury is out.

Also from W3, frumin has 403 donors and Duncan only has 331. All others are under 200.[/quote]

Your tally is right. Frumin has indeed picked up a few more W3 donors since I last checked (https://dcgeekery.com/dc-campaign-finance/2022/council-ward-3).

I was presuming that Bergman would eventually drop out and endorse Duncan, but this seems less likely now that Bergman has the GGW endorsement. Finley gets a lot of YIMBY plaudits for his work on the CT bike lane. And Henry gets support for being young, smart, and YIMBY.

If all four stay in, they will be handing the election to Goulet or Frumin. But I can't figure out for the life of me how they would agree on who drops out. Maybe they agree to let Mary Cheh choose or try to organize some makeshift pre-primary? But for the good of W3, they have to figure it out. [/quote]

None of them are going to drop out, and even if they already printed the ballots which are being sent out in a week or two, so it is too late to winnow the field.

Also, Cheh is not getting involved. She has said that multiple times.[/quote]
