Just a reminder: tonight the Citizens Association of Georgetown will host a Mayoral Candidate(s) Forum. The reception will begin at 7:00, with the forum starting at 7:30. GM calls it a Candidate(s) Forum because as of right now only Councilmember David Catania is confirmed to attend. Carol Schwartz cannot make it because it falls on Rosh Hashanah. CAG has repeatedly reached out to Councilmember Muriel Bowser, but has not received a response, either positive or negative.
So at this point it looks like it will be a single candidate forum, but that’s still pretty good! It will not simply be an opportunity for CM Catania to give a stump speech. Davis Kennedy of the Current, Robert Devaney of the Georgetowner, and GM himself still plan to grill Catania on a wide range of issues.
Moreover, we’ve got a genuinely competitive ANC race this year! Ellie Budic and Monica Roache are both running for ANC 2e07, which will be vacated by Ellen Steury (who herself took over for the late Charlie Eason). GM’s glad to see an actually contested ANC race, and moreover happy that it will either way result in a woman holding the seat. For an ANC that has alternated between 88% and 100% male over the past six years (at least) it’s a little sad that having one woman on the commission is considered progress.
So come on out!
