The campaign of at-large D.C. Council Member Sekou Biddle in in full swing. The incumbent – appointed to fill now-Council Chair Kwame Brown’s (D) seat in January by the D.C. Democratic State Committee – will defend his seat in April’s special election.

Biddle’s bright orange signs can already be seen dotting yards along Irving St., NW up on Mount Pleasant in Ward One.  The signs do the trick and do catch the the eye of passengers in the vehicles speeding along that well-traveled route.  They stand out with their orange color and “sekou” all in undercase lettering and “BIDDLE” in all caps.  The orange color may or may not be a taunt for Vincent Orange, the former Ward 5 council member and DNC national committeeman whom he bested after five ballots in the DCDSC’s vote.  Throughout Orange’s runs in Ward 5 and citywide over the decades his signs have stood out for showing off various shades and schemes of the color that also serves as his surname.
