Right on Brother
This is incredible.
To officials give him a chance great job for hope and change 🙏👍
Very handsome man!
Voting rights might be the singular best solution to fix the crimes system in America. Prisoners could be a vital voting block, by default pushing their issues into political discussions.
This is an absolute travesty and not only that the fact that he was even allowed to run in an election when he's in prison for murder is unconsciousable!!!
More honest than most politicians in office right now! Salute to him💯
Praise God 🙏🏽
Well “politicians are crooks” for the first time is something I fully support.
there is an upsurge of violence because these folks got released. i love the guy's spirit, but we have to be very careful.
Doesn't change the fact, he is a MURDERER!! He shouldn't see the light of day. Our justice system is a failure
A man redeemed
Intelligent, well spoken, good looking, well dressed, does good work and care's about others, he's got my vote ! Most elected officials should be behind bars. 👍
For once I am proud of my city, the District of Columbia, and have hope for the future.💯💯💯
Thats my cousin congrats big cuzzo doing big things hope you come home soon
I didn't think Felons could run for political office.
One of the things a person risks when deciding to commit a crime, is the loss of their rights to participate in the democratic process. They should think of that too.
My city doing it right everyone deserves a second chance and everyone can redeem themselves and fighting for the disenfranchised americans here here this is bright Joel is doing DC proud
I trust an inmate way more than I trust a politician. Once he’s released, he’ll really be surrounded by criminals.
Just as their DEVIL 👿 FATHER their main 😷 strategy is FALSE ACCUSATIONS
This is amazing
And they want DC to become a state.
thought provoking
Trump won
All incarcerated deserve their right to vote. Uncivil America! Only criminal confederate hateful republicans cannot stand it probably because they belong in prison and their white privileged them get off.
Awesome.
Disgraceful
So. SAD. They all. need. JESUS
Proud to say that my state of Maine, is one of two states that allows inmates to vote!! Let us hope that as the saying goes, "As Maine goes, so goes the Nation." holds true. We have the most Liberal Voting Laws in the country and our Legislature recently rejected the GOP's restrictive and discriminating efforts to limit citizen's Constitutional Right to vote, not only the use of Medical Marijuana is allowed but recreational use has been decriminalized. We are one of the states with the highest vaccination rates against Covid. This all to the efforts of the people of the state for cooperating during the pandemic with our Gov. and state CDC and for electing people who care about the quality of lives of all Mainers to our Legislature! Proud to be a Mainah…aya!
Love stories like this.
That's what I'm talking about.😃
