Bradley \u201cBrad\u201d Bondi\u2014brother of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi\u2014was not merely defeated. He was obliterated<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Garnering a paltry 3,490 of nearly 38,600 votes, Bondi limped in with barely 9% support.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Diane Seltzer, an employment attorney, surged ahead with an astonishing over 90% of the vote.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bondi\u2019s campaign pled for a return to the apolitical professionalism the bar once stood for, promising expanded pro bono services and training.<\/p>\n

But these were drowned out by a wave of woke outrage, weaponized against him due to his familial tie to Pam Bondi and his own conservative credentials.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

With nearly 38,000 ballots cast, Bar officials announced Monday that Diane Seltzer garnered more than 90 percent of the vote. Bradley Bondi, a partner in the criminal defense firm Paul Hastings, received about 9 percent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Both candidates campaigned on promises to expand training for lawyers and increase pro bono work. But some members expressed concern that if Bondi were elected president of the 121,000-member association, it would open the door for the Trump administration to exert influence over the group and even use it to carry out retaliation against lawyers and firms deemed by President Donald Trump to be adversaries of his.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to have the support of Bar members whose leader represents and reflects the values of the members of the bar to focus on practicing law, networking and growing without the fear of retaliation,\u201d said Seltzer, 57, who has been a member of the D.C. Bar since 1992.<\/p>\n

\n

In a Zoom campaign debate last month, Bondi repeatedly pledged that neither his sister nor the Trump administration would have any influence on him if he were elected. After the results were announced Monday, he lashed out at his opponents, saying in a statement, \u201cTheir tactics, which included smearing me over my family and peddling conspiracies about my intentions, were not just an assault on my integrity but on the D.C. Bar\u2019s very mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

Meanwhile, former D.C. homicide prosecutor Alicia Long, who also is connected to the Trump administration, lost her bid to become the D.C. Bar\u2019s treasurer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
