Now I am going to read you some statements about the candidates for mayor. [RANDOMIZE]
TOMMY WELLS
Ward 6 Councilman Tommy Wells wants to create a livable, walkable D.C. where everyone can thrive. Wells
spearheaded the efforts to revitalize the H Street corridor and will take this success to other parts of the city
adding small businesses and creating jobs. Wells wants every resident to have access to public transportation,
quality schools, and economically strong neighborhoods.
VINCENT GRAY
Mayor Vincent Gray, a lifelong resident, will continue his work to create one city and provide all residents with
quality schools and education, fiscal stability, job opportunities, and safe communities. Gray has cracked down on
corruption in the city and worked to fix all the problems of the Fenty administration. Gray will continue the
progress he has made for a better future for all in D.C.
MURIEL BOWSER
Lifelong D.C. resident and Ward 4 Councilwoman Muriel Bowser is ready to make D.C. proud of itself again.
Bowser has an ambitious agenda for D.C. focusing on an open and ethical government, rebuilding quality
neighborhoods, and transforming our schools and commercial corridors. She will take a hands-on approach to
leadership and bring change faster than the current administration.
JACK EVANS
Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans, has been a tough leader for over 20 years. Hes the reason D.C.s economy is
