Beyond Lewis George and McDuffie: The Other Mayoral Candidates Aiming for the Throne

Vincent Orange, a former D.C. Councilmember, is vying for the mayor's seat, criticizing front-runners Janeese Lewis George and Kenyan McDuffie. Orange pledges to reverse their perceived damage, particularly regarding public safety and budgeting for police officers. His mayoral vision, 'The Orange Plan', prioritizes public safety, quality education from age 3 to high school graduation, and fiscal discipline. Orange plans to incentivize high school graduates to attend the University of District of Columbia and create apprenticeships within the D.C. government. He also aims to make the District a family-friendly tourist destination while preserving home rule and pursuing statehood. Orange launched his bid in February, touting his record of service on the council and as president of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce.
