Graham Setting Up Campaign Headquarters on Georgia Avenue
Councilmember Jim Graham is setting up his campaign headquarters at 3512 Georgia Avenue this year. From the conversation I had with someone setting up the property, it sounds like the facility will be ready for action within a week.
People familiar with the site will also recognize it as the future site of the initial phase of the Park Morton development, which is currently scheduled to start in October of this year.
It should not come as a surprise that Graham would choose Georgia Avenue for his headquarters. In an interview I had with him earlier this year, he indicated that he got about 72% of the vote here in the last election, which was his lowest return. With opponent Jeff Smith living just off of Georgia Avenue, it will be interesting to see if Graham’s support along the corridor increases or not in this election.

I think every incumbent should be voted out, including Graham and Fenty.
I want mith to have the chance to show us what he’s got.

It’s time for Graham to go! He’s too cozy with developers and only looks out for himself.
