Mary Cheh Endorses Vince Gray

Vince Gray at Busboys and Poets, last year.
On TBD’s “NewsTalk“, Ward 3 Councilwoman Mary Cheh just endorsed Vince Gray for Mayor.
I haven’t taken a formal position on the Mayor’s race, but I’ve been asked by many many people how I’m going to vote and I can tell you I did vote yesterday– I voted for myself– but I voted for Vince Gray.
And I’m going to support Vince Gray and I hope the residents of my ward and around the district also support Vince Gray because I think having worked with him over the past four years, shoulder-to-shoulder, I have become an admirer and I was someone who came skeptically to him because I supported his opponent when he ran for chair. But he’s a man of integrity, he’s thoughtful he’s intelligent and he’ll be a leader, the kind of leader that we need now.
It’s not just rhetoric when he talks about one city. He really wants to bring the city together. He has an ability to make progress without disrespect or alienating groups, so I have come to the view that he is the Mayor that we need now.
