Definitely, Michelle Distler, the incumbent, is the better candidate over the challenger Lori Barngrover. Distler, is a true independent thinker.
Anyway, IMHO Barngrover has some baggage...............it's a suitcase called Mickey Sandifer.
Another Ward 4 resident told me they had seen Sandifer taking Barngrover around and introducing her. Yepper, the same Sandifer that says it's none of our business how money was spent on one of his trips. The same Sandifer who tried to instill fear in folks that if the last budget wasn't approved as recommended that essential emergency services could be lost. The same Sandifer that tried to convince some folks that unless the franchise fee was passed that the city might be liable to lawsuits.............and the same Sandifer who on the last trip to DC spent more money than any other person who went and stayed more days than anybody else.
Would Barngrover become a Sandifer clone?
