Not a super helpful thread.

Voting for Blank seems appealing.

And what's this sham with the democratic state committee? Seven people running for seven spots? That's a Blank for me too.


I am bullet voting the DC Dems. Andria Thomas has been great and shaking things up. Most of the others are the same-old, same-old.

For at-large I'm leaning towards Lisa Gore.


What's Gore's position on affordable housing, homeless, and policing?


She is very progressive.


She is. But she’s also a housing expert, having worked as a special agent for the FHA. She actually has real expertise in the subject. From her website:

Lisa rose through the ranks and became a Special Agent in Charge. At that level, she commanded the Operations Division where she led a team of cross-functional staff in providing guidance and operational support to 44 investigative field offices located across the country and crafting national policies and initiatives to combat fraud in FHA and other federal housing programs. Lisa is well versed in the oversight of significant government programs. She led successful efforts in identifying weaknesses and vulnerabilities in federal housing and community development programs and developed Congressional testimony on a range of federal housing matters, highlighting concerns with program efficiency and the proper spending of taxpayer dollars.


Read about her housing proposals here: https://www.gorefordc.com/housing-for-all

I think she’s really impressive and am excited to vote for her.

I consider myself independent/moderate (but registered D), and voted for Schwalb and Bonds, plus Goulet for Ward 3.

+1 That Spiva is NOT using the Fair Election program for THIS position, to me, is a non-starter.

Brian Schwalb. He's using the Fair Election system and is an affordable housing advocate.

I think Silverman was last election. Remember Bowser tried to sink her and failed?


She was reelected in 2018 but I guess she is an independent so the primary doesn't apply to her. But she presumably is running again this year for November

I don't have enough knowledge to pick candidates for these seats. I've read the Washington Post endorsements but other sources of information or opinions would be welcomed.
