In the race to replace Council Chairman Vincent Gray in Ward 7, voters face a choice similar to their Ward 4 neighbors. The contest appears to come down to hard-driving newcomer and Fenty imitator Victor Vandell and longtime political activist Yvette Alexander, who has Gray's backing. The chairman has invested a lot of political capital in Alexander. Her weightiest credentials involve membership in lots of Democratic Party organizations and her activities with various community groups. LL has a hard time ignoring Alexander's charm and her ability to reach out to people. She would be a compassionate addition to the council. But a winning personality and great smile aren't enough to get the job done for one of the city's neediest wards. If Ward 7 residents want a continuation of Gray's short run as the Ward 7 representative, they will get it with Alexander. It is impossible to imagine her making a big decision without his guidance.
