Sharon Tyus' state rep campaign has picked up another endorsement. Eighteenth Ward Committeeman Jesse Todd has told PUB DEF that he's going with the former 20th Ward alderman over her three opponents; Robert Bartlett, Shaun Simms and Jamilah Nasheed.
Todd's decision to not endorse Nasheed, he said, had a lot to do with her support of Darryl Piggee in his 2004 campaign to unseat Todd. "I will never support her as long as I'm committeeman," Todd said.
Tyus is seeking to return to politics by replacing the term-limited State Rep. Amber Boykins (60th district). We reported last week that Tyus also has secured the support of 21st Ward Committeeman Arthur "Chink" Washington.
Todd said he left a voicemail for Tyus tonight informing her of his decision.

So Todd only picked Tyus to get back at Nasheed for Piggee. Not exactly an endorsement of good intentions.

Chink is committeeman in the 21st ward, not the 20th. The 20th is now on the south side (remember the Slay redistricting?).

Oracle, as a Chink Washington constituent, I am ashamed of my own fingers for the mistype.
BTW, when you gonna let me buy you a cup of coffee?
