There's nowhere on your campaign website to email you + your team directly with questions. By encouraging us to reach out with questions/thoughts, do you mean in the Comments section here?

The candidates I'm throwing my support behind this year have made themselves readily available by email, and frankly your campaign website is not especially detailed regarding your policy positions. I recognize you just announced, but given your past experience on the Council I have somewhat higher expectations as you announce your intent to run--especially as many candidates who've made themselves available announced last year.

Hi Shane, Thanks for your feedback. I have not officially declared as a candidate yet, so i do not have a website or campaign contribution mechanism set up. If you want to go to my 2022 site, www.elissafordc.com it has what you are looking for. Or you can email me at elissa.silverman@gmail.com. Cheers.

That makes sense—apologies for jumping the gun a bit! I appreciate you sharing your email and will follow up there. I’m glad to see your name back in the mix of candidates :)

Wow! That's big news. Please clarify, are you running for the interim slot (special election on June 16) or the 4-year term (November 3) or both?

Elissa Silverman's avatar

I'm running for both Lisa. Happy to talk to you more, 202.386.2173.

The Board of Elections threw out all three complaints saying they were bogus and simply lies to make political attacks. OCF was found to have made up a law. I appreciate your focus on integrity, and hope you focus it on the lying and attempts at slander. Take care.
