Suki Suki Now! Just pulled up the list of ANC candidates who have filed petitions for the November ANC 8C election and there were TWO challengers, Dion Jordan (8C02) and Elvera Patrick (8NC03)for two ANC 8C seats! EXCELLENT NEWS!

With all due respect to Grady Edwards who is well respected in the community and has worked hard as the commissioner for 8C02 CHOTR is familiar with Dion Jordan and his prior work in the community and his prior experience with the Ward. Dion would be an excellent choice for ANC 8C. CHOTR is currently unfamiliar with Elvera Patrick but anyone running against Mary Cuthbert gets my vote! Keep your head up Elvera! If history is any indicator you will have a fight on your hands.

Would love the two challengers and the incumbents of ANC 8C (as well of the other Congress Heights ANCs) to contact Congress Heights On The Rise and share their thoughts, feelings and plans for their ANC. Would love to put together a special ANC Election blog series! Resident feedback is also welcome, please send an email to congressheightsontherise@gmail.com.
