D.C. Councilman Jim Graham gets challenged for seat from former ANC

A former advisory neighborhood commissioner said Wednesday that she will seek Ward 1’s seat on the D.C. Council, potentially setting up a primary challenge for incumbent Jim Graham, an influential lawmaker who has drawn criticism for his conduct as a member of Metro’s board.

“I have a record of fighting for Ward 1 residents, helping them get the services they need and making sure their problems are being addressed by our government,” Brianne Nadeau said in a statement. “I am running for council to address important issues that impact the lives of residents day-to-day.”
