DC for Democracy Endorses Candidates for the DC Primary
DC for Democracy held its endorsement meeting Wednesday, following on the candidate forum it held last month. After an opportunity for candidates and their representatives to mingle with DC4D members, a very democratic and open voting process led to endorsements for these DC candidates in the September 12 Democratic primary:
- City Council, At Large: Phil Mendelson
- City Council, Ward 1: Jim Graham
- City Council, Ward 6: Tommy Wells
- Delegate to US House of Representatives: Eleanor Holmes Norton
- Shadow Senator: Philip Pannell
- Shadow Representative: Mike Panetta
Three other candidates received a majority of the votes, indicating substantial support, but did not reach the two-thirds required for an endorsement:
- Mayor: Adrian Fenty
- City Council Chairman: Kathy Patterson
- City Council, Ward 3: Sam Brooks
