UPDATE: Jacque Patterson, Natalie Williams & Sandra "SS" Seegars confirmed as CHotR Guest Bloggers!
Yesterday on Facebook The Advoc8te extended an invitation to Ward 8 council challengers
Jacque Patterson,
Sandra Seegars, and
Natalie Williams to guest blog on CHotR. In offering the invitation I didn't put any limitations on their posts but I did encourage that they reference their respective qualifications, experience, and vision for Ward 8. I want them to make their case as to why they are deserving of your support and your vote.
Why extend invitations just to these three challengers? Good question. It seems like everyone and their mamma is running for the Ward 8 council seat. I limited invitations to Patterson, Seegars, and Williams because I have had a positive experience working with each of them on Ward 8 issues and I find them to be the most interesting in what has unfortunately become an overly crowded list of challengers. With the election a little over
three
two months away if a candidate has not made a lasting
positive impression on me I am doubtful it is going to happen anytime soon and thus (at least for now) I would like to use my humble little forum to allow these candidates to spread their message. It may not be "fair" but it is honest. My blog, my rules. :)
In case you were wondering, I did not extend an invitation to the incumbent, Marion Barry. As was my stance during the last Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner elections, I believe actions speak louder than words. If incumbents do a good job during their term voters will know it, no point trying to rewrite the last 10 pages of a novel.
When I have the submissions from all the candidates who have agreed to participate
(so far just waiting to hear from Ms. Seegars)
I will publish the posts at random - one post per day.
Until then get to know our
first two
confirmed Guest Bloggers: Jacque Patterson, Natalie Williams, and Sandra Seegars
(listed alphabetically).
