Attorney General Karl A. Racine has seized on opportunities to criticize Bowser and the performance of her administration, fueling questions about whether he plans to enter the race as a third-party or independent candidate if Bowser wins the primary.
Racine, who has contemplated challenging Bowser over the years, likes to remind associates that his citywide vote total surpassed hers when both ran for reelection against nominal opposition in 2018. He also has backed council candidates in previous elections who defeated opponents whom Bowser supported.
“I said I’m not running again,” Racine replied, before adding that he reconsiders his decision “every now and again,” when he becomes upset about “unfair accusations that go to the heart of the problems” in the city. Racine invoked Neil Albert, a Bowser appointee and the former chair of the board overseeing public housing who
Racine also has derided the mayor for what he has described as her attempt to duck blame for a surge in violent crime. His criticism came after the mayor, in a newsletter her office sent out in late January, urged the public to hold the attorney general, among others, accountable for the city’s rising crime rate.Regarding the rancor between Bowser and him, Racine said he wishes “there was better coordination at the highest levels. I think it’s lamentable that there isn’t.
