Results are in.... Janeese for Mayor, Aparna for Ward 1, Oye for Dem at large and Elissa for at large Independent.

3 democratic soclialists. Good luck to the district of columbia, you are going to need it.

Ugggh White. A smooth politician talker with no substance. There goes DC statehood. Now I wait for him to prove me wrong.

AP has called this race for JLG

Janeese all the way!! Let's take our city back!

McDuffie. I wish there was another choice. JLG’s platform is unrealistic (at best) and her desire for attention from the most undesirable and temporary resident of the city is frightening to me. Let him focus his attention elsewhere …

I like Zalesne and Pinto. They actually had a strategy and talked about the work they've already done.

Pinto is basically a republican and zelesne has not core voter base to be viable, though I agree she is the best to do the job.

Only race I care about.

That and council rep are the only ones that matter. The rest is noise.

I hate McDuffie a lot but I don't like JLG either. Based on actual positions, McDuffie is for me. Based on personal experience, he sucks.

I'm in line now. Its gonna be a game time decision.

Hah, that's how I felt about Silverman

JLG
White
Crawford/Silverman
Nelson/Forester

IMO anyone who sends their children to private schools should not be the mayor.

25 year DC resident and I send my kids to private schools as well. Not his fault or his kids’ fault that DC public schools suck so much.

+1 21 year resident with kids in private school. I’d rather a mayor who can recognize the schools are not good enough and kids won’t just be fine.

But the reality is that yours and his are probably going to be fine and do as well are their parents. I don't think any non public person needs to justify their choice in sending their kids to private schools. The reality is that well educated, upper income families do pretty well and go to college coming out of DCPS. It's the kids coming from trauma and instability that are much, much higher need and the school can't meet all the their needs. Parents make choices in the best interests of their kids. Just like those who send their kids to private school, I can't imagine having sent mine to private.
