Get a life why don’t you.
Huff and puff all you want Jacque, but at the end of the day the fact remains. You are claiming residency in a large MD home (tax advantages and all) while expecting us to believe you and 6 other people are crammed in a DC townhome. You assume DC voters are gullible or don't respect us enough to tell us the truth. You have not provided any evidence to support your DC residency in the face of clear and overwhelming publicly available records. It is not fair to the other candidates who actually live in the district/Ward they serve. then you have the nerve to play the victim?
Here the sock puppet goes again!
I bet the sock puppet is parked outside the guys home with bad coffee and a camera .
Candidate Patterson has been living in DC way longer than the originator of this DUMB post. Anyone who lives on his block can vouch for it.
But the OP OBVIOUSLY has a hang up on the guy.
Sock puppetry at its highest!

A colleague of mine was doing research on the At Large SBOE race and discovered this about Jacque Patterson. I didn't think it possible for DC candidates to be MD residents, I'm pretty sure they can't. Either way, curious to hear your thoughts
"Doing a basic name search on Google I came across a WaPo posting which led me down a rabbit hole of what appears to be strong evidence suggesting that Jacque Patterson has been an MD resident since 2016.
It started with a link to an announcement of new home sale of [REDACTED] Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 in the Washington Post. Publicly available information from seller shows sale to candidate Jacque Patterson and candidate's wife.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/prince-georges-county-home-sales/2016/12/12/c9533be6-b663-11e6-b8df-600bd9d38a02_story.html
It gets weirder, I searched Maryland Department of Assessment and Taxation records indicating [REDACTED] Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 as PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE of candidate and candidate's wife. Principal residence is defined by MD Code Of Regulations (COMAR 18.07.03.01 (B)(3)) as "the one dwelling where the homeowner regularly resides and is the location designated by the owner for the legal purposes of voting, obtaining a driver's license, and filing income tax returns."
Even weirder, I searched PG County tax records showing the purchase of property [REDACTED] Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 and subsequent tax payments dating back to 2016. Most recent payment made 9/14/2020. Property is listed as PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE. Again, principal residence is defined by MD Code Of Regulations (COMAR 18.07.03.01 (B)(3)) as "the one dwelling where the homeowner regularly resides and is the location designated by the owner for the legal purposes of voting, obtaining a driver's license, and filing income tax returns."
Jacque's Statement of Candidacy filed 6/12/2020 under DC address [REDACTED] Street, SE, Washington, DC 20020 https://efiling.ocf.dc.gov/Disclosure/FilingHistory/15126
Publicly available tax records identify the above property as being owned by candidate Patterson, however no publicly available evidence indicates that the above address is the principal residence. In fact, candidate Patterson is NOT receiving the DC Homestead deduction, which would suggest this property is no longer eligible.
Finally, candidate Jacque Patterson is currently taking advantage of a semi-annual tax payment system only eligible to MD residents. "Tax bills must be paid by September 30th in full unless paying semiannually. Semiannual payments are offered for owner-occupied residential property only. Your tax bill must have the statement 'Principal Residence' on it." https://t.co/Bz9HRNTBzU?amp=1
To put a cherry on top, based on publicly available DC Superior Court Records, Patterson has been sued multiple times in the last several years for NOT paying the HOA dues on his DC property. Why, with two kids, would he live in a 1200 sq foot home in DC when he has a 3600 sq foot. half million dollar house in Maryland where he claims residency? Jacque attempted to run for At Large SBOE in 2016 but he was disqualified due to insufficient valid signatures. Did he move to MD after that? I feel like I have no idea who this guy is."
To summarize, it would appear that Jacque Patterson, as of most recently available public tax records, is a resident of Upper Marlboro, MD. The PG County tax records which indicate Patterson's principal residence at Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 are current as of 9/28/2020. However, he has used a property in DC to presumably register to vote, and subsequently file as a candidate. This seems to be against some Board of Election rules but honestly I don't know enough about DC election law to say for certain.
“A colleague of mine? “
This where the smear campaign from the OP begins.
Oh OP! Your slip is showing.
Here are the flaws in your logic and inferences OP....
1. There is nothing “weird” about buying a house. You pay for it through financing or cash and move on. Full stop.
2. Candidate Patterson’s DC home MORE THAN LIKELY is paid off with no liens, unless it was refinanced. It’s been TWENTY FIVE years for Christ sakes.
3. OP, you didn’t just “happen” upon DC Superior Civil court records. They don’t come up on a google search search. You have to search his name. Regarding the HOA issues , you conveniently leave out dates, and the resolutions of those cases.
4. When did Candidate Patterson buy his DC house and when was the DC homestead act put in place? It’s ok. I’ll wait.
5. When did Candidate Patterson ever VOTE in MD... it’s ok I’ll wait
So many flaws in the inferences made it sickens me. Especially for an at large school board seat.
Very very petty.
research 101, you check public records. regardless, Peterson hasn't produced anything to dispute the facts presented.

I appreciate the DC Urban Moms and Dads ensuring the integrity of DC campaigns and candidates. Let me be be very clear in questions about my residency: I bought my home at 3521 21st Street SE on Oct 15, 1999. I have not resided, voted, paid income taxes or registered a vehicle in any other jurisdiction or municipality since that date. I am more than happy to provide my drivers license, voter registration, income taxesrecords and current utility bills to all who would like proof.
While I do not feel I should have to explain owning another home, I will conclude my reply with this, I am a very proud DC resident who has served my country in the military, served my community in various capacity and now takes care of not only my immediate family but extended family that has fallen on financial difficulties. I’m unapologetic about the ability to be able to do so because I know what it’s like to struggle in DC, as I went 18 months unemployed during the recession. Any one who would like to call me on this matter for verification can reach me at 202 834-2553
Sincerely,
Jacque Patterson, Sr.
Applaud you for replying here Candidate Patterson, and there are many of us out here who have seen you in our communities working hard over the last twenty years. So sad that the forum had to devolve to this to pull up personal info on you and your family members.
I have reported this post to the moderator because it is the worst use of the Schools forum to use it as the Political forum under false pretenses.
These kinds of posters are what makes DCUM a haven for propagandists.
Here is the report I sent to the moderator :
“ This post should be moved to the political forum as it was fraudulently posed as a topic related to DC Schools, It should be in the political forum as it was fraudulently posed as a topic related to DC Schools but isn’t . It is filled with personal information of several non-public figures and incites public investigation of several non-public residents. It is an obvious smear post of a guy running for a local unpaid elected office. It also includes with personal information of several non-public figures and incites public investigation of several non-public residents. “
I am not Candidate Patterson or in anyway affiliated with his campaign. I didn’t even vote for him. But I do believe in a fair race that is based on the facts, not lies of bitter adversaries that have nothing better to do than to put people personal information and old hardships on a anonymous website.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Buncha threads about this, but this one seems to have the most attention along with replies from Patterson.
https://twitter.com/nathanluecking/status/1313505759070740481?s=21
His response on twitter to claiming the MD home is his primary residence: "That was a mistake at time of purchase; the MD agency has been contacted and correction has been made."
But how could someone go so long without noticing they are overpaying their DC property tax? (And do we want someone who doesn't pay attention to that kind of detail in elected office?) Does Maryland automatically tell DC to remove the homestead deduction when you claim primary residence there? Or would he intentionally have to un-claim the DC Homestead Deduction?
MD and DC do not communicate (at least automatically.. they would in teh case of fraud suspicion) over the homestead deduction.
HOw did he explain _not_ taking the DC homestead deduction?
To me, he's probably smart enough to realize that taking the deduction when you're not entitled to it is tax fraud = you can end up in doing time for it. I'm guessing he really is living in MD, which is why the tax records regarding homestead deduction are accurate. No reason to risk a tax fraud charge.
He didn’t explain it that I saw—not here or on Twitter. His “supporters” also haven’t explained it. I could understand if MD and DC somehow communicated about it and it happened automatically. But it sounds like he would have had to intentionally opt out of the DC deduction OR claim to not notice he’s paying higher taxes for years.
Seems like he would now owe MD taxes—isn’t that tax fraud the same as wrongfully claiming the DC homestead rebate would have been?
