Pam Bondi's Brother And Trump Loyalist Crushed In DC Bar Election

[Man With A Plan]

Fyi

The voters were only members if the D.C. Bar....

Both repubs and democratic bar members voted, which is not as leaning democratic as the City itself

"If Seltzer and others are right, and Trump supporters are looking to dominate the D.C. Bar, they will have their work cut out for them. Along with the president and treasurer, Bar members are voting for five seats on the 20-member Board of Governors. No Trump-aligned candidates appear to be in the running for those roles.

While Bondi and Long would undoubtedly have influence should they win leadership positions, key decisions must still be ratified by the full board. What’s more, bar officials are effectively muzzled in speaking for the bar without the board’s approval. According to D.C. Bar bylaws, “no opinion of the bar on any matter involving legislation of major public interest or concern or of major importance to the members of the bar shall be publicly expressed unless authorized by the Board of Governors.”

Among the 13 candidates running for bar board positions, four are current members seeking reelection. And the other nine represent the kind of roster one might expect in D.C.—lawyers from Big Law, government, advocacy groups, small local firms and nonprofit organizations.

What one won’t find in the mix are Trump devotees. None of the 13 contributed to the Republicans in the 2024 election cycle, nor do they appear to have significant ties to the Trump administration. On the other hand, 11 candidates have contributed to Democratic candidates over the years, mostly small amounts in races for local D.C. offices.

The pattern is similar among the remaining board members whose seats are not up for election this year. While Long and a few other board members have contributed no money to candidates, federal campaign records show that most have made modest contributions to Democratic candidates in recent election cycles. That includes Seltzer, who has contributed a total of $120 to Act Blue, the Democratic fundraising site, since 2020."

DC Bar Association Election Sparks Political Firestorm

With the attorney general's brother vying for president, is the DC Bar Association election a fight to defend the rule of law, or just business as usual?

Actually, Care...it's just as left leaning as the District despite claims that it is non-partisan. When everyone on the board is contributing to Democrats and nobody is contributing to Republicans...that claim is laughable!

Bradley Bondi, Attorney General Pam Bondi's brother, and Alicia Long, who was a deputy to brief interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, tried to seize control. After a vote, Bondi couldn't cross 10% support among the membership.

As NPR reported in May, the race garnered a lot of attention, resulting in the highest vote among its membership ever. The next largest election was in 1990 and saw less than one-third of the participation.
