“Look Beyond the Resumes"
The Washington Times Urge DC residents to “Vote for Bobb”

(Washington DC) On Monday, October 30, 2006, The Washington Times officially   announced its decision to endorse Robert Bobb for President of DC Board of Education.

“ …But the school system has become a perplexing state of affairs, and it will continue along the same path unless someone with a vision and know-how leads it in the opposite direction. So, sometimes, as we pointed out in an Aug. 14, 2003, editorial, it becomes necessary to "Look beyond their resumes." The editorial encouraged the mayor to select Mr. Bobb as city administrator because he is an "effective and tested manager," a "quick study" and someone who "knows big-city politics." As the manager of this city since then, Mr. Bobb has over and over again proven himself as a tested leader and instructive listener.He gets things done. As the city moves forward on critical political fronts, this is no time to forsake our teachers and children. Go to the polls on Nov. 8. The Washington Times endorses Robert Bobb for president of the Board of Education.” 

Bobb has also received endorsements from the Washington Post, the Current Newspapers, the Gertrude Stein Club, EDAction Group, AFCME, the InTowner Newspaper, and DC City Councilmember Jim Graham.
