Democratic socialist leading DC mayoral race by double digits in new poll
Residents in the nation’s capital are leaning toward voting for City Councilmember Janeese Lewis-George, a Democratic socialist, to serve as its new mayor according to a recent polling.
Lewis-George has served on the city council for six years and is leading former City Council Member at-Large Kenyan McDuffie (D) by double digits according to the Washington Post-Schar School poll.
Survey results show Lewis-George has 36 percent support among likely voters compared to McDuffie, who has 25 percent support.
Both are lawyers by trade, native Washingtonians and graduates of Howard University with deep community ties.
