We let you down with our political coverage this spring
It looks like Vincent Orange has probably, but not definitely, eked out reelection over Sekou Biddle. A number of commenters are criticizing Greater Greater Washington’s election articles this spring, especially our decision to endorse Peter Shapiro. I believe that we did fall short in our coverage of this election. I proudly voted for Shapiro yesterday and continue… Keep reading…

In Ward 4, Councilmember Muriel Bowser is facing five challengers in the April 3 Democratic primary. For his strong leadership on ethics and positive vision for the ward, we support Max Skolnik. The DC Council is currently at a standstill, mired by scandal. Earlier this month, we learned of federal investigations into the prolific campaign money man Jeff Thompson. 12 out of 13… Keep reading…

Recently, Barry has said he deserves another term because he’s “wiser and more caring.” On April 3rd, Ward 8 voters can show Barry they are, in fact, wiser and more caring about their future by voting for Jacque Patterson as their next councilmember. Patterson’s… Keep reading…
