Frumin seems like a nice guy but what exactly has he been “advocating” or doing all these years. He served on Cheh’s school boundary task force a few years ago, where his only memorable statement was to dismiss Ward 3 schools being removed from the Alice Deal feeder pattern as “collateral damage.”

He helped found a city wide public school advocacy group. He has been on the Washington Interfaith Network Affodabel Housing task force, he has served as an ANC Commissioner including as Chair of ANC 3E. He was on the ANC and helped foster several development projects on Wisconsin Avenue, as well as the AU Law School.

He has served as the Board Chair of the Lisner Home and just got a 93 unit affordable senior housing building through the ANC and Zoning Commission.

He has been on the Tenleytown Main Street board advocating for small businesses up and down Wisconsin Avenue.

These are the things I know of and there are a bunch that I am not as familiar with in the public school world.

Where does Frumin stand on the Suoerfresh Lady Bird development in AU Park?

I do think Tricia will do a better job of standing up to the NIMBYs throughout Ward 3.

Except I’m the Palisades where Trish is a NIMBY, to put it charitably. Some might say “hypocrite.”

I have to hand it to you, you are a very aggressively online group. Unfortunately, you are not reaching likely voters here (or Twitter or GGW comments), so you wasting your breath. You are better off trying to infiltrate the mommy groups at Turtle Park or CC Rec Center.

Who is my candidate? Goulet said he is opposed. Frumin seems to support it based on his website. Is he the best shot at getting it done?

Goulet is probably your best bet to ensure that realistic plans are made and delivered.

Frumin will turn every decision into analysis by paralysis.

I like her and she’s a woman, and perhaps not her doing. But why would we reward a net negative impact? Cause Cheh said so? It’s not North Korea

What is DFER?

PP here - you are suggesting that Goulet is the best person to build the high school that he opposes? Right. There must be Goulet campaign staffers tracking mentions on this board.
