Comparing Janeese to Brandon Todd is a pretty low bar. It’s been pretty surprising to me to see Janeese basically move in lock step with Nadeau.

There it is, folks. Please tell us how Janeese's actions on crime have been so "insightful."
She sends detailed newsletters with specifics of the issues and what she's doing about it. Have you actually read those? DC, especially Ward 4 crime / safety is discussed in a lot of those (maybe all?).
She's come to fairly contentious community meetings and given clear answers on what she can do and what she won't do. And she brings in MPD, USAO, and others as effectively as I think she can.
But if you want to spout slogans and vote based off "public safety and crime tops my list of priorities" without any meat behind it then you've made up your mind based on emotion not logic.

Please tell us how what Lisa Gore is promising is so insightful.
JLG is actively making things worse. Replacing her with someone who promised to fck off to Pimlico and play the horses for the next four years and do nothing would be an improvement. Lisa Gore having crime as her top priority is light years better than JLG even if she accomplishes nothing.

Brandon Todd might be the most ineffectual Councilmember ever to serve.

Lisa sounds great! I have to say, though, that as a prior Ward 1 resident who was represented by Nadeau, JLG is not that bad. She seems to work hard and care about her job. I don't agree with all her ideas, but she supports ways to improve the neighborhood. Nadeau was horrible!

She had me at “crime is my #1 issue.” I don’t need to hear anything else. Writing her a big check.
As long as she is on the pro enforcement and not the defundy side (now and historically)me too

The reaction of many of JLG's hard-core supporters -- in essence, "how dare anyone challenge Queen JLG, especially a Black woman" -- is pretty gross. Competition is a good thing. Maybe JLG will finally start listening to her constituents now that she knows someone is challenging her personal domain.

She has been a fantastic AND 3/4G leader. I have no doubt she would make a good councilmember as well.

I don't know much about her, but I liked this part of her post: "Let me be blunt - public safety and crime tops my list of priorities. The escalating crime rates in our Ward and throughout DC are a cause for deep concern. With over two decades of experience in law enforcement, including supervising juvenile offenders, coordinating targeted enforcement operations, devising strategies to address local and national crime, as well as being a mom to a teenage son, I know that safety for all Ward 4 residents and visitors to DC, is essential for the progress and development of our neighborhoods."
These aren’t policies or ideas, they are just fluff and talking points. For someone who says they have so much experience, she certainly doesn’t have a lot to say.
Also, if she had all the answers, you’d think she would have told someone about them before. But no, she’s just selfishly kept them to herself.
Read the tea leaves, folks. She doesn’t know any of the answers, is an Bowser pawn, and is playing off of your fear and anger.
What politician has all the answers? Don’t be naive—that’s not a thing. Knowing that, I’d rather have someone who is going to try than someone who will continually make excuses for criminal behavior.
Ok, number one, don’t tell me how to act. Number two, you’re the naive one, friend.
Voting JLG out for a potted plant is a message worth sending.
