Brad Bondi, the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, overwhelmingly lost his bid to lead the D.C. Bar Association in a race with record turnout, the organization announced Monday.
Bondi, who is global co-chair of the law firm Paul Hastings’s investigations and white-collar defense practice, earned just 3,490 votes, or 9.1 percent, in the D.C. Bar’s presidential election. His opponent, employment lawyer Diane Seltzer, won 34,982 votes, or 90.9 percent.
Here's what he said after the election as to why he lost?
In a statement to The Hill following the election, Bondi said he stands with a “heart full of gratitude and a mind heavy with concern for the future of the D.C. Bar.”
“I had hoped this race would be a contest of ideas to enhance services for our widely varied members,” Bondi said, listing off suggestions like a stronger ethics hotline and expanded pro bono programs to unite lawyers in service “from big law to solo practice.”
“Instead, I am disgusted by how rabid partisans lurched this election into the political gutter, turning a professional campaign into baseless attacks, identity politics, and partisan recrimination,” he continued.
Bondi said tactics included “smearing” him over his family and “peddling conspiracies” about his intentions, which he called “not just an assault on my integrity but on the D.C. Bar’s very mission.” He cautioned that the Bar may “never recover from this politicization.”
Imagine that, he doesn't like the tactics the Republican party uses against its 'enemies'. The GOP doesn't have opponents.
