Not many people who aren't native Washingtonians actually know D.C. political figures, except perhaps ex-Mayor (and ex-con) Marion Barry. For those of you not in the know, a perennial favorite is At-Large Councilwoman Carol Schwartz. In spite of being a Republican in a town with an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate, she has fans in all cuadrants of the city. If memory serves, she is an acquaintance of long-time community activist, Lawrence Guyot, and his wife, Monica Guyot. OroroDC would like to give a shout out to the Guyot family, including Lawrence Jr. and Julie, a fellow snail. Festina lente, Julie, wherever you are!
I was sad to hear that, having been made a target of activist, conservative Republicans, Mrs. Schwartz lost in the primary elections. However, as it turns out, the fat lady has not sung, and Carol Schwartz has launched a write-in campaign for the November 4th election. We hope that Washingtonians will support Mrs. Schwartz. Do it Chicago-style and, as the saying goes, "Vote early -- and vote often".
