For ANC in southern Ward 6
Ward 6 has more contested ANC seats than in any other ward, and between streetcars on H Street NE, development around Union Station, bike lanes on M SE/SW, and bike sharing at Lincoln Park, there are plenty of transportation and development debates to go around as well as issues around retail, development and more. Starting in the south, we’re most excited about the candidacy… Keep reading…

For ANC in Ward 3
Along Ward 3’s major commercial corridors, especially Wisconsin Avenue, are numerous low strip malls and ugly parking lots, in transit-rich neighborhoods where any developer would be happy to build. But the neighborhoods also have residents most vociferously opposed to nearly any development with the means to delay and even sue to stop projects. Recently, however,… Keep reading…

For ANC in Ward 7
In a ward that usually has ANC races with no one running for some of the single-member districts, it is refreshing to see so many contested races. While there are six SMDs with no candidates, each ANC in Ward 7 at least has one contested SMD race. Keep reading…

For ANC in Ward 2
Ward 2 has no competitive races west of 15th Street, but along 14th and 7th Streets in its eastern half, a number of challengers are trying to dislodge longtime, entrenched neighborhood powers. Keep reading…

Have faith in our ideas and vote Gray
This is the third of three personal endorsements on Fenty-Gray. See Dan’s and Ken’s. I have confidence in the policies we advocate here on Greater Greater Washington. They’re not helping one group at the expense of another, but best for DC as a whole. Vince Gray will thoughtfully listen to opinions and then pick the best course of action.

Vote Fenty because reform does depend on one person
This is the second of three personal endorsements on Fenty-Gray. See Dan’s and David’s. For many Fenty supporters including myself, Michelle Rhee, Gabe Klein and Harriet Tregoning are the main reasons to vote to reelect Adrian Fenty. Vincent Gray, when asked why he won’t say whether as Mayor he would keep Chancellor Rhee, argues that reform does not depend… Keep reading…

Experience says vote Fenty, but don’t count out Gray
This is the first of three personal endorsements on Fenty-Gray. See Ken’s and David’s. Four years ago I was worried about Adrian Fenty. I feared that he lacked vision and would cave to parochial concerns. I’m glad to say I was wrong. With the streetcar project making strong progress and bike lanes all over the city, I’ve become a Fenty fan. He hasn’t… Keep reading…
