Jail. Today, one of them will become an elected official. NBC News spoke with each candidate and the D.C. Board of Elections to learn more about why they chose to run and how this historic election was made possible.

Hahaha. Sorry, but this is absurd. Felons for public office. Criminals and people who make up words like "dranconian" are just what any functioning city needs.
Interesting…so many people always claim that elected officials should be behind bars… well they got what they wanted. Be careful of what you wish for. Words have the power to become reality.

DC is in the process of being run by criminals….imagine that?…they are called Democrats, no more explanation needed.
They didn't care about the community while communicating crimes and now they care???
Are criminals never Able to be reformed? Is there not anything that they have to offer? I believe so. There have been and currently are actual criminals in white collars working as judges, lawyers senators, police chiefs, prosecutors, doctors and even presidential officials etc. Let’s stop acting brand new please.
Crime spike incoming😅…
Commissioner of the jail? What in the world is this? And why are inmates who are healthy being locked in solitary for 23 months? That is cruel and unusual punishment
Yea I want a home with a prison view……lol
"no what I'm sayin?" No, don't have a clue. You know what you're saying? LOL Felons can run for office?
Halfway through the year and politics just keeps getting weirder, weirder, weirder…..
And Demorats thought this to be a good idea
I wish them the best of luck 💯
Stay safe everyone 💕
Have a fantastic evening 💕
Can we do this with all elected DC officials?
