Didn't ya see that high school kid that got elected mayor just recently? Don't be scared to take a chance. Ya just might be what is needed. Opportunity knocks on strange doors sometimes. What ya got to lose? The platform is right, ya got an honest offer of support, and ya got a desire to see
DC residents get a fair shake. What more do ya need?
DC is full of colorful folks in your 25 years you couldn't have created THAT much trouble........LOL
