The political circus in the nation’s capital just got another act. Janeese Lewis George, a D.C. Council member, has thrown her hat into the ring for the mayoral race. Perhaps she believes it’s time to bring her brand of leftist policies to the mayor’s office. But one has to wonder if D.C. needs more progressive experiments that seem to bog down the city in endless bureaucracy and red tape.
D.C. residents are already grappling with rising crime, failing public services, and chaotic streets. It’s hard to see how Lewis George’s soft-on-crime stance will provide any real solutions. She and her ilk keep pushing for defunding the police and rising social welfare programs, ignoring how these steps have led to issues in other cities. The capital needs someone who will tackle crime with strength, not with more coddling and empty rhetoric.
Then there’s the economy. How many businesses will be willing to stay in a city where policies are driven by the whims of socialist fantasies? The cost of living continues to soar, much like other left-wing havens. George’s policies risk driving away the few businesses brave enough to stick it out in D.C.
Globalist interests that drive leftist agendas have no place in American leadership. What D.C. needs is a mayor who puts its citizens first, someone who will truly make America’s capital great again. Will George be that leader? Or will she follow the same old liberal agenda that has proven over and over again to lead nowhere?
Instead of falling for yet another– “new”– progressive voice, perhaps it’s time D.C. voters demand someone who prioritizes safety, genuine economic growth, and patriotic values. The choice is theirs, but one question remains: Is D.C. ready for even more progressive chaos dressed up as change?
