The national anti-incumbency wave is hitting Republicans and Democrats alike.

In recent primary elections, discontented voters kicked both veteran Sen. Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Democrat, and freshman Rep. Parker Griffith, Alabama Republican, out of Washington. D.C. Republicans are hoping similar sentiment makes its way inside the city limits, where Republicans are trying to unseat Democrats in four D.C. Council races.

(Washington, DC, May 19, 2010) Jim DeMartino, the Republican candidate for the Ward 6 seat on DC Council, chastised DC Council for failing to take a stand on the 680 fee and fine increases proposed by Mayor Fenty.

“Councilmen are patting themselves on the back this morning for dodging a controversial bullet,” said DeMartino, “but what they really did is show to everyone in this city that they are not willing to take responsibility—they are not willing to do the job we pay them to do.”
