WE ARE AT-large Council member Carol Schwartz's chief of staff and deputy committee clerk, and we are both gay. Having worked closely with Carol for the past decade, we can attest to the fact that when it comes to standing up for the GLBT community, Carol and her leadership have been invaluable.
Ten years ago, the two of us showed up separately to volunteer on one of Carol's campaigns. Since then, we have become lifelong friends with each other and with Carol. We are both staunch Democrats, but in 1998 the District was in the dumps and Carol's enthusiastic "let's-fix-this-city" message appealed to us in a big way. "There's no Democratic or Republican way to pick up the trash," she would say on the campaign trail. "There's just the right way."
