Residents who voted at Let’s Choose DC, a project of PoPville, Greater Greater Washington and DCist, gave top marks to Matthew Frumin and Elissa Silverman for their views on the future of education in DC. Matthew Frumin slightly edged out Elissa Silverman in a close finish. John Settles placed third, followed by Patrick Mara, Perry Redd, and Paul Zukerberg much farther behind.

71% of voters gave positive reviews to Frumin’s answer, compared to 70% for Silverman’s.  Silverman had more people rating her answer “very persuasive”—38% versus 30%—but also fewer people thought her answer “fully” answered the question—46% versus Frumin’s 65%. 14% of voters said she did not answer the question at all, while only 1% had that reaction to Frumin’s response.
