Pam Bondi's brother crushed in DC Bar Association election

[RandySF]

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.

The association does not decide attorney discipline matters, but critics of President Trump raised alarm that an attempted takeover by his allies was underway, as tensions between the White House and the legal profession reach stratospheric heights.

Seltzer, who runs an eponymous employment law firm and was endorsed by nearly two dozen former D.C. Bar Association presidents, begins her term as president-elect next month, on July 1, and her term as president begins on July 1, 2026.

3. Don't know anything about him, but

The name recognition alone is the death knell.

7. Another MAGA candidate also was defeated by a huge margin.

Alicia Long, a close associate of MAGA US Attorney Ed Martin, ran for Treasurer. She lost by 26,380 to 8,854. No name recognition involved. Just a campaign mounted by members of the DC bar to ensure these two MAGATS got their asses kicked. Turnout went from 8.6% in 2024 to over 43% this year. Message delivered.

5. This was entirely predictable. He never had a remote chance.

The fact that some people freaked out about him running was ridiculos.

6. He never had a chance because people mobilized to vote against him.

In 2024, the president of the DC bar was elected by a margin of 4,624 to 2506.

Turnout went from 8.6% in 2024 to over 43% in 2025. Folks -- including me -- wanted to send a message.

8. Send them a message,...

Fuck MAGA,...

Fuck Fascism,...

Fuck these greedy,... gluttonous,... ostentatious Christo-Fascist Nazi Nationalists who hold trDUMP as the new Messiah, Fuhrer, and King.
