The write-in campaign to re-elect Mayor Adrian Fenty has gathered steam with more than 5,000 followers on a Facebook page and a widening group of outspoken supporters. But those supporters say Fenty won’t get behind them until they can prove they’ve reached a critical mass.

“Fenty won’t have anything to do with us until we’ve built a sizable following,”  community activist Lawrence Guyot told The Washington Examiner while standing with a group of write-in Fenty campaigners outside D.C. Council Chairman Vince Gray’s Ward 3 town hall meeting Thursday evening. “He’s done a good job of accepting his primary loss, but we don’t need to do that.”
