That video is great! Kudos to whoever made it.

Basically the center-right is lucky that Nadeau's campaign/staff sucks. If she was even a bit competent, we'd have a W6/Allen situation. Nobody wants to go up against him, but it seems like he knows a bit about what he is doing (regardless if you agree with it or not). I'm not calling him competent, but he isn't completely incompetent in constituent services.

It starts from the top. She picked her staff. So it’s poor leadership.

What fascinates me is that she seems completely immune from self-reflection. Her constituents have been telling her and anyone who will listen for years that she needs to be more present. And what’s does she do with that information? She gets defensive and argues that it’s not true.

I just don’t think she understands what it means to be a local politician in a big city. 80% of the job is just showing up and listening to people. She adamantly refuses to do either.

Say what you want about Bowser, but she understands that much. She’s at the crime scenes. Where’s Nadeau? Contrast with Graham who was just ubiquitous across the Ward. He may have been corrupt, but he was a good politician.

Nadeau seems better suited to go and work at policy/advocacy organization instead of being a politician and maybe she will give her the chance to go and do that.

That is so true about Graham. He was everywhere and involved with everything. He also had great constituent services that even Nadeau took advantage of

Wait, what?! Nadeau solicited and received special consideration from city officials for an interest-free home loan to buy her Northwest Washington condominium. Wow. That is a perfect solution for her constituents too. Has she implemented these benefits for everyone else in Ward 1? No? Out.

My read is: me, me, me. Possible corruption. Certain self-interest.
