Small? Please continue to underestimate the Integrity group. Its impact on the upcoming election will be anything but small.

I hope so! So what's the feeling? Annetta Catchings or Allison Silberberg?

Catchings, while she may be a nice person, has only lived in Alexandria for 6 months. It's a lost cause.

+1000

And she hasn't even lived in the city during a normal time, let alone one full year. It's not about party - it's insanity to vote for Catchings.

It's ridiculous that she's the best the Republican Party could come up with and they couldn't even find someone who really lives here. It seems like she's being used as a pawn. There is no way she can win.

It’s ridiculous that the supposedly non-partisan city council is a single party state. Every local source repeats, accurately, the Democrat Primary is the election. They admit that it’s not a democracy.

It won’t happen, without a lawsuit, and only with racial/voting rights act representation, but council districts would make at least the current council more responsive.

Even non partisan, certain members have their city wide base, and ideological factions that they can afford to offend a cluster of blocks without consequence. It would also focus voters on issues that actually affect them. Not some non issue about stream rehabilitation, or for or against a bicycle lane.

It’s not the top issue, but as avid cyclist, I checked out Seminary Road a while back.

I don’t know any cyclist who would use that route. It’s busy, even with lanes, and with a lot of elevation change.

I also don’t know anyone who would choose to bike or drive on King Street. Use Cameron or Prince (or preferably just South of Duke).

Lastly I don’t think every street needs a boulevard wide cycle lane for all of two people. Transportation requires transporting the most people, in the most efficient way possible. In most areas bicycle lanes and buses for that matter don’t actually do that, based on actual use.

But when it comes to a site of dilapidated homes, right next to the Braddock Metro, and in the neighborhood plan for over a decade, all of a sudden they’re against it, because of the objections of local (black) residents.

I don’t care that they want to take back their original votes. What’s done is done. Worse they may have done irreparable harm to race relations in the city.

Aguirre is a joke. Total flash in the plan. He'll be gone and no one will remember anything about him except his carpet bagging smirk. Better have kept his day job...

You were very nice. Aguirre is a total moron.

I don't even get how people are against the chicken shop, even if they're vegans. People eat animals (personally I rarely do). It's far more ethical to provide healthier, more humane options, than to have them buy chicken from a big box grocery store. You don't see vegans and vegetarians protesting Giant or Safeway for selling purdue or tyson... why? Those are FAR more awful in their treatment of animals.

The only people who oppose this are hypocrite morons who preach about wanting better options, but as long as it's somewhere else.

Seriously? Most vegans I know are fascists trying to impose their lifestyle on others.

It’s currently a joke in Colorado where the Governor’s partner is ironically trying to impose it (they’re gay).

I don’t take Jackson and Bennett-Parker’s vote as NIMBY. Rather they are doing what liberal white women do. The current term for it is Karen.

William C. "Bill" Rossello and Mark Shiffer are the only one people I'm interested in voting for.

Wait until you learn about his dad roughing up a black elementary school kid...

Moran, the son of former Rep. Moran, was arrested for violently slamming his girlfriend's head into a trash can and beating her up, on film, outside a bar in DC. He plead guilty.

Voting for Patrick Moran is like voting for Chris Brown. I cannot believe he is even considering running. He is a woman beater. It's fact.

THIS! Holy $hit how can ANYONE vote for him?

https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/456144/rep-jim-morans-son-guilty-of-beating-up-his-girlfriend-in-columbia-heights/

Ehhh. MLK used to slap his women around and he's lauded as an icon.

Are you f-ing serious? Moran broke her nose and fractured her skull. WTF is wrong with you?

My point is you can't respect MLK but denounce Moran.

Yup! That's like saying you fight against all racists then vote for the Governor who wore black face with no problem.

Um, nope. those dots don't connect whatsoever.

Are you some woman beater Patrick Moran defender? GTFOH. Your analogy is pathetic, not relevant, and sad. No one is talking about Northam or Martin Luther King.

Patrick Moran beat the crap out of his girlfriend. The absolute insanity of him running for any public office and for anyone to vote for or defend him is mind blowing.

UMMMMM how do I get a new ballot??? Asking for a friend. I just want to put this out there: not too many people know about the guy beating up anyone when you look up his name that's not what comes up unless you search for it.

What does MLK have anything to do with this? You need help. Stop day drinking and stay on topic.
