You can’t win them all.

Especially in the Democrat-controlled city of Washington, DC.

The brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi has lost his election to be the next President of the D.C. Bar.

Brad Bondi lost the election to employment lawyer Diane Seltzer in a race that wasn’t even close.

Yahoo News had more on the story:

Bradley Bondi, the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, lost his bid for president of the D.C. Bar, receiving 3,490 votes compared to opponent Diane Seltzer’s 34,982.

Seltzer, an employment lawyer who ran a campaign focused on supporting members of the organization at a time of “governmental chaos,” said after the results were announced on Monday that she credited the D.C. Bar’s members with showing up and saying what kind of leader they wanted.

“We’ve got to make sure that we hang onto the rule of law and that we can practice law safely,” Seltzer told NBC News. “That we can represent who we want without worrying about retaliation, and that judges can issue fair and impartial rulings without worrying about being intimidated or retaliated against.”

The result came amid the Trump administration’s attacks on judges who have ruled against its policies, as well as against law firms who have represented causes or clients Trump doesn’t like. Last month, federal judges struck down Trump’s executive orders against Jenner & Block as well as against Perkins Coie, finding the orders unconstitutional.

Seltzer acknowledged that the D.C. Bar had “heavy” issues on its plate. But she said she also wanted to create events that would build community, saying the association had a “bright, vibrant, engaged, energetic” group of members.

So, who is Brad Bondi, besides being the brother of the Attorney General?

The Washington Examiner had these details to share:

Bondi had touted his legal expertise and experience in leadership positions with the D.C. Bar as he knocked accusations that he would politicize the association.
“As an active member of the D.C. Bar for 26 years, I’ve also been elected twice to the steering committee of the D.C. Bar section on Corporations, Finance, and Securities Law and have devoted over 20 years to D.C. Bar-sponsored pro bono work,” he said. “This isn’t about politics; I’m running to help strengthen our profession and support members of the Bar no matter what their beliefs or backgrounds.”

National Democratic-aligned power players disagreed.

Trump is trying to “[seat] the bar with his allies,” ​​civil rights activist Al Sharpton agreed in late April.

“He absolutely seems to be obsessed with trying to just burn the legal system and the checks and balances as we’ve known them to the ground,” he warned.

It was reported that 95% of lawyers in the D.C. Bar Association are registered Democrats, so Brad’s loss is no surprise.
