'D.C. Bar overwhelmingly rejects bid by Attorney General Pam Bondi's brother to lead it'
"Members of the D.C. Bar Association have overwhelmingly rejected the efforts of Brad Bondi, brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, to lead one of the largest and most influential bar associations in the country."
"On Monday, the group announced its members had chosen attorney Diane Seltzer as its next president. Seltzer secured 90.9% of the vote to Brad Bondi’s 9.1%. This year’s elections marked a record voter turnout, according to the organization, with almost 37,000 members casting their ballots as of June 3 — more than 41% of all eligible voters. That’s a significant jump from last year, which boasted just more than 8% turnout."
"His blowout loss comes as the Trump administration continues an aggressive push against the legal system. Since retaking the White House, President Donald Trump has sought to take away security clearances from law firms that worked with his political opponents, harshly criticized federal judges who have ruled against his agenda and fired career lawyers at federal agencies across the government."
"The race became the subject of national attention after Brad Bondi threw his hat into the ring in March. While he pledged to protect the D.C. Bar from being politicized, some critics feared his close ties to Trump could transform the nonpartisan body into a tool of retribution for the administration."
