A councilmember does not control the police department.


Council members produce and vote on changes to local laws.

By rejecting every measure aimed at reducing crime, she becomes part of the problem


She was for defunding the police. She's probably the last person you should expect to do something about crime.

What has she done for Ward 4?

She's my councilperson and I've met her half a dozen times and not seen evidence of this charisma. But if the standard is Bowser than JLG is basically Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, so maybe you're grading on a DC politician curve here.


+1. JLG is horrible. Her constitutent services are downright nasty, and she just sucks up to whatever is popular at the moment amongst the wealthy liberals. Remember that parts of her ward are WOTP.

I'm a constituent and she lied to me on something in such a brazen, painfully obvious way that it almost made me laugh. It was like a ridiculous stereotype of a politician.

I’m op. Alright. Then yeah, if those are her key supporters then this makes total sense. Ugh.
