Muriel Bowser is a native Washingtonian and log term resident. Although Bowser is connected to the city, some remember her political past of being connected to former Mayor Adrian Fenty. Fenty was known for alot of things and ,allegedly having the DC Police show up at his home due to calls of domestic problems. The police commander in that area at the time was the current DC police chief of today. The current DC Police chief name is Cathy Lynn Lanier.
Lanier's loyalty has paid of well but, people are asking will Bowser loyalty pay of too. If you recall , Fenty money came from people out of DC which mainly was in Florida. The reference to money is related to his campaign money.
Although change is good , the change many not included you . Bowser has changed from an (ANC) representing, to running Fenty's campaign coordinator for Ward 4. Bowser has been link to developers who had contributed to Bowser's campaign, claiming she would favor developers over her constituents. While an ANC commissioner, Bowser had voted in favor of a zoning variance for a condominium development to be built by a developer who had contributed several hundred dollars to her campaign, which some critics derided as a conflict of interest.[16] Bowser maintained that she had supported the development project before running for Council.
Please remember that during a political forum with 17 of the 19 council candidates in attendance, Bowser was the only candidate present who supported Fenty's proposed takeover of the District public school system, saying that the school system needed to change.
When Fenty announced his support of Bowser, some critics claimed that, if elected, she would always vote as Fenty wished, ignoring the needs of her constituents.
