I like Gray, but I almost want to vote against him because Hudson is so annoying!

The biggest challenge for DC’s GLBT community is the staggering level of violence against it. Fenty and the Police Chief have sat on the sidelines and let this violence continue. No city can ever be great until it is first safe for its citizens — DC isn’t even close.

Well said. Please visit the Prince of Petworth.com and share you views. There are many confused people in our neighborhood.

Lane Hudson states that four years ago he “supported Adrian Fenty for mayor because he inspired me to believe that we could have a better city.” Well, yeah, and Fenty delivered. By most measures–from crime to student performance to rec center and school renovations to neighborhood development–we do have a better city now than we did four years ago. That’s why more people are moving in than moving out. And isn’t, “are you better off than you were four years ago?” the right question to ask when an incumbent runs for re-election? Yes, Vincent Gray is a good man, and were he running for re-election as council chairman, I wouldn’t hesitate to support him. But he’s given me no concrete reason to toss out the incumbent. Indeed, if Gray wins and improves the city, in September 2014 won’t he be asking the same, “are you better off?” question? He’ll be right to ask–and, if this year is any indication, right to wonder why more voters aren’t asking themselves the same thing.
