Looking at his campaign site, he has no real policy proposals, with one of his main issues seemingly being anarchist My Little Pony graffiti on street signs (the following picture is from his "The Issues" page, captioned "graffiti tagged signs - Adams Morgan in Ward 1"



I guess he's authentically representing the "cranky senior" base.

The rest of the candidates are all whack jobs with horrible ideas. I'll take the long time resident focused on extremely local issues every time

Excuse you. Brian has dedicated himself to public service as a consultant for the CMS, a leader in the LGBT community, and as the Chair of ANC 1E. And I think you'll find that he's much closer to what you're looking for in a candidate, as someone who is running as a pragmatic problem solver that can bridge progressive-moderate divides, rather than just being some cranky old man.

Try doing some research and actually looking into people's platforms before you speak. OP even gave your lazy ass the links to do it.

Raj has also been heavily involved in pro-Palestine organizing in the wake of the October 7 attacks two years ago, including the movement urging voters not to support President Joe Biden in the 2024 primary over his Gaza policies. Nadeau, who is Jewish, believes that work puts her out of step with the ward’s Democrats.

Raj is competing with Brown to win over left-leaning voters, so it is perhaps no surprise to see conflicts bubbling up between their camps early—particularly after Raj’s strong launch to her campaign. She claims she raised more than $30,000 from 844 small-dollar donors on her first day of fundraising in August; for contrast, Nadeau raised about $55,000 over the entire duration of her 2022 reelection campaign.

While Raj remains proud of her Palestinian organizing, she also believes voters in the ward care more about her plans to address the city’s affordability problems than her foreign policy stances.

“Whether it’s people in Palestine, whether it is people here, we really need to be in solidarity with each other,” Raj said. “That is sort of the goal of the Trump administration to get us to turn on each other and to get us to see these movements for humanity as oppositional to each other.”
