Greater Greater Washington makes their endorsements for Ward 8 ANC races

Go HERE to read the full post for endorsements for Ward 8. Greater Greater Washington has been proceeding on the ambitious goal of issuing endorsements for the District's contested ANC races. Check out the endorsements for Ward 7 HERE.

Excerpt:

For every consensus building, forward thinking, qualified commissioner there are often too many others eager to drown them out in order to maintain the status quo. And the cycle of apathy continues. In a ward where the councilmember is often referred to as "Mayor for Life" it should be no surprise that there are some ANC commissioners who feel they should be "Commissioners for Life."


But change is coming. It's not just in the form of new 30-something professionals moving to Ward 8, but in the form of native Ward 8 residents who sat on the sidelines waiting for opportunities and allies to make a positive impact on their communities.

This year, the list of challengers has more than doubled from the last election. Neighbors have become the cheerleaders and recruiters for change in their own neighborhoods, from both sides of the generational gap.
