Bryan Weaver is a long-time Ward One resident who is running for D.C. Council. Weaver has released a couple of funky YouTube campaign videos, which have previously made the rounds. Weaver faces off against incumbent Jim Graham and challenger Jeff Smith on September 14. The four-term Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner lives in Adams Morgan with his wife and two children. Graham is the favorite to win re-election, but Weaver’s first campaign video, featuring the song “Underdog,” has seen nearly 80,000 views.
What does your Sunday routine look like?
Right now its all about campaigning, but typically I start off with basketball at Kalorama Park — no matter how cold — and then it’s family time…unless of course it’s football season.
Do you have an iPod? If so, what have you been listening to?
On my iPod I have what I refer to as the Weaver Political Playlist that includes songs like “Revolution” by Spearhead, the Johnny Cash version of “Won’t Back Down,” and Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power.” Lila Downs and Manu Chao are in high rotation right now and of course Sly and the Family Stone’s “Underdog.”
