Record number of LGBT candidates on primary ballot
By Lou Chibbaro Jr. on March 19, 2014

Gay D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) will be one of 17 openly LGBT
candidates to appear on the ballot in the city’s April 1 primary election, representing
an all-time high for the number of out candidates running in a single D.C. election.

In other races, seven out LGBT candidates, including Beninda, are running for Democratic State Committee seats on an insurgent slate called The Rent is Too Darn High.
     
In a statement released earlier this month, leaders of the 30-candidate slate made it clear that the candidates are dissatisfied with the current State Committee leadership team headed by D.C. Council member Anita Bonds (D-At-Large), who serves as chair of the State Committee.

“The Committee’s recent history is riddled with mismanagement of elections, lack of transparency, and now wrestles with the perception of being complicit with scandal and corruption,” the statement says.

The LGBT candidates on the slate and the seats they are running for are Gregory Cendana
(At-Large seat); Edgardo Ed Guerrero (At-Large seat); Beninda (At-Large seat); Nikisha Carpenter (At-Large seat); Jessica ‘Jess’ Pierce (Ward 4 seat); Tamara Angela Ferrell (Ward 4 seat); and Andy Litsky (Ward 6 seat).
