Have you ever wondered where the District’s drinking water comes from or puzzled over why the McMillan reservoir is located in the center of the city, far from the water sources that supply it?

GGWash endorses Elissa Silverman (I) and Kenyan McDuffie (I) because we see this election always a confusing one beholden to arcane Home Rule requirements, complicated this year by the entry of three sitting councilmembers as an unexpected opportunity to change who makes decisions about housing, and affordable housing, in the legislative branch.
