DC Mayor Adrian Fenty promises to “listen better” if he’s elected to another term. The embattled incumbent made the comment during a televised debate on TBD, formerly News Channel 8. “We know that we’ve got to change some things in the next term. I talked about making sure that we’re communicating better, that we’re listening better,” he said. Fenty is spending a lot of money as he tries to hold on to his job. He spent nearly two-million-dollars in June and July, mostly on TV spots. Four of his ads appeared in commercial breaks during the debate. Even with the advertising blitz, Fenty is still lagging in the polls. DC’s Democratic primary is September 14th.
