On Monday, May 17, 2010 in the packed Gymnasium of the Thurgood Marshall Center the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club held its first endorsement candidates forum of the 2010 election cycle for candidates for Ward 1 and Ward 5 city council. The Stein club has a long history of being a major endorsement in DC City Council races with candidates taking every available opportunity prior to the endorsement meeting to sell their candidacy to Stein Club members.

Last night's endorsement meeting was no different. The two Democratic challengers to incumbent Jim Graham, Jeff Smith and Brian Weaver both were present to make their case as was one of the challengers to incumbent Harry Thomas Jr., Mr. Kenyon McDuffie.

When it was all said and done, the Stein Club in a very decisive vote endorsed Harry Thomas Jr. with 89% of the vote and Jim Graham with 77% of the vote.

"As the largest, grassroots, LGBT, Democratic, political organization in the city, we are very excited about this endorsement and we are ready to put our boots on the ground to make sure that Harry Thomas Jr. & Jim Graham are decisively re-elected in 2010", Jeffrey Richardson, President.
