On the Kojo Namdi Show: WAMU 9/8/06 (listen) starting at 42min 11sec into the show.
At the Independence Day Parade: "...and there was Faith, the perennial mayoral wannabee, who rode on a horse, her hair framed by an American flag, her ever-present trumpet at the ready." (WashPost 7/5/06)
On the Kucinich campaign trail: "And what D.C. political event would be complete without Faith Dane and her bugle? The end of a round of questioning elicited a trumpet riff from the 80-year-old former showgirl and perennial candidate who’s run for mayor in the District six times and touts a long-standing friendship with actor Marlon Brando. Questioner Mark Plotkin acknowledged her presence, though she’s not one of the 11 candidates who’ll appear on the ballot on Tuesday." (msnbc 3/5/04)
WashPost D.C. Voter's Guide '98: "But her platform has changed little during this and her four previous bids for mayor. [Faith] says the city’s residents should use a referendum to establish it as an independent state and hand much of the authority to the Neighborhood Advisory Commissions.

"She also advocates public funding for the creation of arts programs and instruction for youth. Her concept, Dubbed Roosevelt’s Stars War program and modeled after a New Deal program, would enlist entertainment stars to teach students via satellite. It follows her goal to establish the District as an international intercultural arts haven. " (10/2/98 by John P. Martin)
