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…

At-large candidates, except Shapiro, pander to speeders
Except for Peter Shapiro, the candidates for DC Council at-large either don’t think pedestrian safety is a very pressing issue, think the only people who will vote tomorrow are drivers who’d rather speed than be safe, or both. On Friday, the Democratic candidates for DC Council at-large appeared on the WAMU Politics Hour with Kojo Nnamdi and Tom Sherwood. Sherwood… Keep reading…

For DC Council at-large: Peter Shapiro
The DC Democratic primary for at-large councilmember will finally end a 17-month game of musical chairs between Sekou Biddle and Vincent Orange. When the tune stops on April 3, neither should take the seat. We endorse Peter Shapiro because we believe he is the best candidate. While the Washington Post and Washington City Paper were both far too quick to dismiss Shapiro’s… Keep reading…

What would you ask the at-large DC Council candidates?

Biddle: Ethics, education, and affordable housing for all
I am running for the DC Council at-large because I love this city. After growing up in Columbia Heights, I left the District to attend college and work in urban education, in New York and Atlanta, as a classroom teacher and administrator. I came back because I believe all students who go to school in the District should have the same opportunities that I did when I graduated from Wilson… Keep reading…

Details matter when judging Biddle and Shapiro’s fundraising
Yesterday, Dave Stroup called on Sekou Biddle to resign and support Peter Shapiro as the at-large candidate. His theory is that if there are two people who claim to be progressives in the at-large democratic primary, they will split the vote and Vincent Orange will win. Dave’s concern about splitting the vote may or may not be valid—though no polling has been… Keep reading…
