DC's Elected Officials Need a Reality Check

 Birthday Parties &  Bobbleheads are at the Top of the List for Council Priorities

 

Washington, DC: The DC Republican Committee made the following statement in regard to Councilmembers Vincent Gray, Harry Thomas & Yvette Alexander who publicized their Birthday Parties, Jack Evans who used campaign money to make bobbleheads (of himself) and Jim Graham who posted on community email list serves that he received an award.  

 

"While unemployment in the District is the highest in the region and DC continues to hold the title for the 51st best place to do business, our Councilmembers are more focused on issues concerning their personal vanity.  Instead of dealing with substantive issues like job creation and affordability, our Councilmembers are pursuing bobbleheads and Birthdays," stated Robert J. Kabel, Chairman of the DC Republican Committee.

 

Graham's staffer noted in his postings to the Ward 1 community list serves that "Jim Graham received many awards" in the past. Evans used campaign funds to make bobbleheads of himself with a full head of hair. Gray, Thomas and Alexander held Birthday parties for themselves.

DC Councilmembers put Self First

Last week, Councilmembers held Birthday parties for themselves. This week, one used campaign money to make bobbleheads of himself. While this is happening, DC has one of the highest unemployment rates in the region and is the 51st best place in the country to do business.

Republicans Win Big!

Last night's victories in New Jersey and Virginia are the latest examples of Republicans gaining ground on Democrats. As DC Republicans, we should all be proud to see states that trend Democrat, voted Republican.

 

New Jersey is a very deep blue state, very similar to Washington, DC. Governor elect Chris Christie (R-NJ) went into urban areas and campaigned on urban issues like a need for more transparency, better schools and less crime.
