Another U.S. president has weighed in on DCision14.

This time, the president is Bill Clinton and the elected office is Attorney General, for which No. 42 has endorsed Karl Racine. President Obama endorsed Muriel Bowser for mayor in early October.

“I’m proud to endorse Karl Racine for Attorney General of the District of Columbia,” Clinton said in a statement released by Racine’s campaign. “His work as my Associate White House Counsel prepared him well for this office. Karl also has the integrity and ethics to be the District’s first elected Attorney General. I know he’ll bring to the job of D.C. Attorney General the same drive and knowledge of the law he demonstrated in the White House. Karl will fight for the District’s middle class and working families.”

Opponents of Racine, who has also been endorsed by the Washington Post, have pointed to two government audits critical of billing disputes at a law firm where he was a managing partner. The Post countered, “Such disputes are not uncommon and don’t have much relevance to his qualifications.”

Racine will face Lorie Masters, Edward “Smitty” Smith, Lateefah Williams and Paul Zukerberg this November.
