WEEEAAAAAVVVVVVEEEEERRRR!!!! The only way I vote for the other guy is if he makes a cooler, to the point video that shows he cares more about D.C and all the folks in it more than you do. That aint' happenin. Because he's never met anyone like you and knows not the strong bond and impression you've made on just about everyone you've met, he probably thinks you have no chance. All those folks, like me, know that you care and would love to see you in a position to make a great difference.
This guy managed to make a schmaltzy political video truly endearing and enjoyable. You come across as a person I would enjoy associating with! Hope you get the vote!

Are you guys serious with your support?
HE NAMED HIS CHILDREN MAYA LUNA AND SEBASTIAN. THESE TYPES OF NAMES ARE RESERVED FOR WORLD OF WARCRAFT.
My 2 boys (Steve and Jimmy) keep asking me if Maya Luna and Sebastian will be attending their school in the fall, as they are very eager to beat them up.
Just 2 blocks away from your Ward, sir, but I'm rooting for you. You've got a tough fight on your hands with a very well loved (well, ok, hated by some) incumbent to beat. I hadn't heard your name before but will be looking out for you.
For anyone not from DC you won't find those places in your tourist guides. Brian knows the places that have been neighborhood favorites for years. Fantastic ad. I laughed when he stood in front of the raven and laughed so hard when he circled back to run in.
@ddawson100 I think that was my favorite part of the ad - the tour of the ward through food. Also the somewhat confused look on his face whenever he'd end up in front of another eatery, chewing. :)))
It's a great ad. But he's still a politician and will say anything to get elected. The only difference between this guy and every other candidate is that he has a good campaign manager/ad agency.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ah - a politician who does not permit thoughtful, polite conversation and divergent points of view. Hey Weaver et. al., repost my comments or are you against freedom of speech? Boy, I really did not need to peel this onion too far to find the truth about this candidate and his cronies.
DerHeilge1 please read "Grammar for Dummie." Weaver has a record. Hmmm. Helping inner city youth? Check. Investing in his community as ANC commissioner? Check. Being creative, innovative and productive with how he reaches out to voters? Check. Next time you make a point heap some intelligence behind it. I know when Weaver writes, he does.
Wow! I Know it is PR for Mr. Weaver....but this is by far the best ad for a local guy running for office I have seen. A tour of the Ward he wants to represent. I would vote for him and I live in California.
