Yes, Yvette Alexander did steal campaign propaganda......
Vincent Gray should of never endorsed her. He should of stayed out of it and let the Ward 7 residents choose who they want. Just because Vincent Gray endorsed her doesn't mean she is the most qualified. Victor Vandell has NOT been a resident of Ward 7 long enough to be a viable candidate for the Ward 7 City Council.

Dear "Concern Citizen" Oh yes, I strongly encourage people to check the backgrounds of each and every candidate. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I have no ciriminal record. Your anonymous insinuation is absolutely shameful and disgraceful. Please, by all means, why don't you check my background for criminal records or as you say, "police record." Then, after you have completed this check, and found nothing, please have the courage to report back, via this same forum, your findings. Please share whatever documentation that proves your findings. I openly challenge you and anyone else to provide documented proof of any crimiinal past, on my part, which should be documented by any official police or court records. Anonymous rumors and innuendos simply are tools of low-down, dirty cowards and dirty political tricksters. Unfortunately for you and your favored candidates, the real question still comes back to what exactly (backed by documented proof) have they ever done, for anyone, anywhere, at anytime in Ward 7. When you're finished playing games and are ready to talk about the real issues affecting the good people of Ward 7, please call me at (202) 550-4612. I signed my name, why won't you? You've made the accusation; what are you afraid of?

Chairman Gray has no idea what he has done. Yvette Alexander is not fit to be the Ward 7 Council member neither is Emily Washington for that matter. The two act just like children at the last candidates forum which was held at the Marvin Gay's center. The two laugh and carried on their own conversations the whole night while other candidates were speaking to the community. If ths is what we have to lookforward to Ward 7 is in trouble. Greg Rhett always wants you to check the backgrounds of all the candidates, what about checking his police record? People should wake up and see the real truth about some of these candidates. The only ones who were making any since were Victor Vandell and Mark Long.

It is embarrassing enough all the candidates have large poster signs posted over Ward 7, but to copy someone else graphics is just PATHETIC!! And Untrustworthy as a CANDIDATE.
Thank you Vince

IF this is what gets your moral outrage you have not lived long enough.
The vendor probably sold it to both persons. There are only a few campaign people everyone uses. It is more embarassing for that person.

THIS IS PATHETIC!! Yvette with all the money and resources that Chairman Gray's endorsement brings can't do her own graphics, or design her own e-mailer??? I saw the message but didn't look that closely; it's just soo cheesy that she would lift the idea, the graphics and the text from Michael Brown. Where's any sense of pride or decency? It's beyond laughable!
