Capital Pride official announces candidacy for Dupont Circle ANC
Anthony Musa, a member of the board of directors of the Capital Pride Alliance, the group that organizes most of D.C.’s annual LGBTQ Pride events, has announced he is running for the Dupont Circle Advisory Neighborhood Commission seat 2B01 in the city’s Nov.
5 election. The ANC 2B01 seat is currently held by incumbent Meg Roggensack, who announced she is not running for re-election.
As of early this week, no other candidate had come forward to run against Musa. The deadline for candidate filing is Aug. 7. “I’ve lived in Dupont for seven years and I really like my neighborhood,” Musa told the Washington Blade. “And I wanted to volunteer for this position and help my neighbors out, and keep the streets clean,” he said, adding that looking at Connecticut Avenue, a section of which is in his ANC district, is also on his agenda.
Musa said while not a current member of his ANC, he served on its Land Use Committee and was appointed by D.C. Council member Brooke Pinto (D-Ward 2) to serve on a committee to make recommendations for the redistricting of Ward 2 ANC districts based on the 2020 U.S.
