Ward 8, DC
Joined April 2012
I’m Mike and I’m running for the Ward 8 Council. I’m a Washingtonian, attorney, & former ANC Chair. We’ve seen the impact of politicians putting their pockets above the people while families are being pushed out vs. lifted up. I’m running because it’s time we Get It Right ✅

I truly appreciate this. #Ward8 deserves a fighter on the Council, the stakes are too high as our gaps widen across the board in education, wealth, and health. We’ll keep pushing forward together to uplift all of #Ward8, so we’ll be right back here in a couple of months.
We’re proud to have stood with @mike8austin, an advocate who ran with purpose, heart, and a bold vision for Ward 8. Thank you for showing us what leadership rooted in community looks like. The fight for equity continues. 💜 #ElectEDDC #Ward8Votes #ThankYouMike #StillWeRise
