Councilmember Adrian Fenty continues his “Early, Often, and Crazy Ubiquitous” mayoral campaign strategy today at the Frank D. Reeves Building, where, if all goes according to plan, he will be the first candidate to officially file candidacy papers. According to the latest “Team Fenty” press release, it will all go down today at 2:00 p.m. We’re guessing that Fenty’s campaign is hoping for both a crowd and a handful of television cameras—two of the candidate’s most important food groups.

In the release, Fenty states:

In order to execute the grass-roots peoples campaign we intend to run, we have no choice but to start early. We will travel across the entire city, visit every neighborhood, and continue to hear what people want from their next Mayor.

Fenty remains the only officially announced candidate in a field that’s expected to get crowded whether Anthony Williams decides to run for re-election or not. Thus far, Fenty has been the first to officially announce, and last week, at Wilson High, he was the first mayoral wannabe to bore a high school class at graduation with a wildly inappropriate campaign speech. First to arrive doesn’t necessarily mean first to finish, but after yesterday’s release from DC Auditor Deborah K. Nichols, lambasting Williams and City Administrator Robert Bobb for shady contract handouts to cronies, who’s to say Fenty hasn’t a shot at coming out on top?
