Washington is in election season and candidates are not stopping anything.

The competition to lead the nonprofit DC Bar Association is taking place at an unstable moment in national politics, reflected in the rhetoric on the campaign trail.

"I have been a member of the DC Bar Association for 30 years, and it is the first time that the election has attracted this interest," said Bob Spagnoletti, CEO of the Legal Organization.

Brad Bondi, the younger brother of President Pam Bondi, is one of two candidates running for BAR.

The match was because the Trump administration punished large law firms for its partners and clients, attacked judges in rhetoric and fired professional lawyers to federal agencies.

Spagnoletti said more than 30,000 people have voted in the election. This exceeded the previous record set in 1990.

Some of these interests were recently shown at the reception to meet the candidates.

Another candidate in the competition, Diane Seltzer, is an employment lawyer who runs his own small company. Seltzer introduced the crowd to the fear lawyers across Washington heard.

"We are no longer afraid, 'what if I don't prepare, or if I miss a case I should know,'" Celticz said. "In fact, we are just afraid of the terrible consequences to get our job done."

Seltzer said she was listening to those people and putting their concerns at the center of the campaign.

“My first priority is to make sure the rule of law is maintained, we think we can do our job safely and we can represent our choice of clients every day,” she said.

The bar chairperson plays a principal administrative role and has no say in lawyer discipline.

Seltzer is fighting a prominent securities lawyer with the Attorney General’s brother, Brad Bondi. Bondi represents billionaires Elon Musk and Trump Media and Technology Group.

At last week's Zoom forum, Bundy explained why he was in the competition.

“I ran to the same care I served my clients, teaching at Georgetown and George Mason Law School to raise my five kids,” he said.

Bondy said the bar is at a crossroads and political debate should be avoided.

"I need your vote to keep our bars apolitical, and I need you to pass the words to colleagues," he said.

So far, Seltzer has gained recognition from nearly twenty former DC bar presidents.

George Conway is a prominent critic of President Trump and his Justice Department. A few weeks ago, Conway posted a follower about the game on Instagram.

"I want you to vote, and most importantly, vote against someone, vote against Brad Bundy," Conway said.

Conway is not a member of the DC Bar Association and he is not eligible to vote there. But his video seems to be very nervous.

The National Review magazine wrote a title: "Don't blame Brad Bundy for being a sister."

Bondi criticized his opponent last week on an online candidate forum.

Bondy began, “She posted my claim on social media, and I was involved in a conspiracy to destroy the rule of law, a threat to the country.”

Seltzer interjected to challenge his claims, prompting Bondi to clarify that he was talking about Conway’s social media posts, which his kids saw.

Seltzer replied that none of these words came out of her mouth.

The moderator then stepped in to end the debate.

The vote for the presidential election of the DC Bar Association will end on June 4. The results will be announced in a few days.
