Interesting update: Last week Charles Allen reintroduced campaign finance legislation that includes a provision requiring that any AI image, audio, or video used for campaign purposes include a disclaimer saying it was generated with AI.

Happy Election Day, Ward 8! If you’re doing last minute reading ahead of your vote, might I suggest this guide on where the candidates stand on the issues. Post reporters will be at polling sites all day talking to voters- say hi! washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

BOR says it’s done counting for the night and this race is over. Trayon White is celebrating with supporters out on MLK Ave in Congress Heights.

It's unlikely that any of the challengers will close the gap over the next 10 days that mail ballots can be counted. The election will be certified Aug. 8, and if White is declared the winner, he can be sworn in pretty much right after that.
