Thomas Withholds Endorsement of Democratic Presidential Candidate to Highlight District, Ward Issues
Washington, DC – Ward 5 Councilmember Harry “Tommy” Thomas, Jr. announced today that he will refrain from officially endorsing either Democratic presidential candidate until he can discuss with each their positions statehood rights for the District of Columbia and key urban issues such as crime, unemployment, and economic revitalization of our inner city neighborhoods.
“I am honored to represent the residents of the District of Columbia in what is the most important election facing our nation in a lifetime,” said Councilmember Thomas. “I was elected to represent the District as an unpledged delegate, and I take that role seriously. I will evaluate each candidate and their viewpoints on providing DC with the voting rights we deserve. I will compare and assess each candidate’s plans for partnering with the Mayor and Council to bring jobs and economic revitalization to all corners of this great city. And most importantly, I will confer with my residents and fellow members of the Democratic party before making my decision,” said Thomas.

This is why you can’t believe in these politicians, who are just looking out for themselves, and have a hidden agenda, Obama is the same way. This politician assured everyone that he would back Hillary Clinton, now that he has the people’s votes he is doing playing this double game. This man should never be trusted. I think he loses more by misleading the people that voted for him under one pretence than by this idea that he may go against his people. It is a matter of principle and ethics, decency -plain and simple. This is a very unethical situation, he mislead all the Clinton supporters to go behind him, after he assured eveyrone that he was a Clinton supporter. I hope people see through these kinds of politicians and we rid the city of their type.
