“Ultimately, the recall organizers failed to appreciate that Ward 6 residents are thoughtful people looking for real solutions to our toughest problems, and they don’t respond to the fear and division we see play out every day on the national stage,” Allen says in his statement.”
Between the recall committee and the outside spending group supporting it, Allen's opponents spent about $26 per petition signature they garnered. It wasn't nearly enough.

The people who oppress our communities are not welcome in our communities.
DC, no matter where you are tonight, bring noisemakers, pots and pans, GoGo on the stereo, whistles, chants, or any other way to MAKE NOISE so Trump hears we want FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW — FREE DC.
We told you @recallallen, @DCGOP @MakeDCSafe were all colluding.
Now @Vote4DC has confirmed this with fines.
And @recallallen still could not get the signatures they needed for their recall after breaking campaign finance laws and pooling resources.
Allen and his allies note that the recallers got dinged for a variety of campaign finance fines, justifying their complaints about how the recall was managed.
It's cold comfort all these months later, but could be meaningful as recalls gain popularity:

Interesting.
New: Mayor Bowser and other politicians have spent years insisting DC needs more cops. But an eagerly awaited study of MPD staffing by @ODCA_DC says (surprise, surprise) there's no evidence to support that.
They suggested alternatives. Will anyone listen?

Thank you for being our council member and for always keeping us abreast of important issues in our community.

PPADMV has long endorsed DC Ward 6 Councilmember @cmcharlesallen, an ardent champion for sexual + reproductive freedom. We were confident this dubious recall effort would fail + now it has. It was a ridiculous distraction from his critical work of fighting for health equity in DC
And thank you to the recall for being so awful, that people flocked to me and encouraged me. I scored a new bestie and whole thing introduced me to so many great neighbors.

While you celebrate, remember that their goal is to kill our democracy here because it works so well and that is a threat to them for whatever reason. They literally have their own troll farm to push their agenda here and on @Nextdoor
I want to give the biggest thank you to our supporters, donors and volunteers. I know there was another campaign to donate to that was probably a lot more effective, but we rocked TF out of those pole signs.

ICYMI: Effort to Recall CM Charles Allen Fails bit.ly/3SMut5W
“My neighbors also know that real problem solvers roll up their sleeves, they lead boldly and by lifting others up, and they try to build community instead of dividing it. That’s the Ward 6 I’m proud to call home and I’m honored to have represented for a decade.”
The request was basically DOA at the board of elections today. More: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

The Recall Allen committee says it came up well short of its goal for petition signatures to trigger a special election. They’re asking for it to be on the ballot anyway (good luck with that).
So after tens of thousands in spending, this efforts ends with a whimper.
Last day to remove your name if you signed the @recallallen petitions in error or have changed your mind.
Follow these instructions and drop your notarized letter to @Vote4DC as they open in the am.
