This Thursday night at 6:30, the Georgetown Current will hold a mayoral debate at the Dumbarton House (at 2715 Q St.). The event is co-sponsored by the Georgetown Business Association and the Citizens Association.
Davis Kennedy, publisher of the Current, will moderate. But if you have any particular question you want asked, you can submit them at the front table before the debate begins.
Not that you could be blamed for not realizing it, but there’s yet another special election in DC going on right now.
For those not up to speed: Last year, the chair of the Council, Kwame Brown, was forced to resign before getting indicted for loan fraud. On the normal general election day, the city chose At Large Councilmember Phil Mendelson to take Brown’s place (he was already interim chair). Now we have to choose who will take Mendelson’s old At Large seat.
The special election will be on April 23rd at your normal voting locations. But why wait? You can head down to One Judiciary Square and vote right now. GM went yesterday and was in and out in five minutes. You can do it too until the 14th.
So go do your civic duty!

Most of the Georgetown ballots were uncontested, but here are the results from a few of the contested elections: Continue reading
