the biggest go-go hit since Bustin' Loose?

our campaign jingle will be stuck in your head John -- I grew up with go-go music on the stereo (if you know, you know), so it blew my mind this week when some of our supporters decided to record a Goodwin for DC Council go-go Anthem. We've been rocking out ever since. It's no Chuck…

opposition research on Marcus

I know Marcus better than anyone does -- because I'm his mother... John -- I've got all of the dirt on Marcus. Or in campaign speak, I've done all of the "opposition research." That's because I'm his mother. Good news: there aren't any major skeletons in this closet. I mean... I coul…

a very controversial topic: yard signs

"yard signs don't vote"... or do they? John, I swear, every time the word “yard sign” comes out of my mouth on the campaign trail, it’s not long until someone starts mocking them to my face:  “If yard signs could vote, Marcus would have this election locked up and you could take a d…
