I can believe that Phil Mendelson and his reelection staff are under a fair amount bit of stress, pushing hard to counteract name confusion and hold on to Mendelson’s Council seat. But it seems to me this piece of campaign lit, which landed in DCist HQ’s mailbox yesterday afternoon, probably should have been thought through a little more.

To be fair, the back of the one-pager declares that Mendo’s issues are “Our issues.”

But yeah, not the best lead-in ever.
