For being involved in a political campaign, Olivia Gray isn’t one for words. But when she does make noise, it has the sound of a familiar refrain: Quack, quack, quack.
“She doesn’t have a voice that’s English-speaking, so I have to be her translator,” said Meghan Abrego, her owner. “We’re just trying to save her friends.”
One could forgive Olivia for not saying anything – she is a duck, after all. But her presence at Eastern Market on a recent Sunday played an important role in the effort to implement one of the quirkier ballot initiatives in recent D.C. memory.
