I am so proud and so thankful. Thank you Council Member @chenderson for listening to my concerns and for recognizing my efforts
Earlier this summer @SofieHamilton wrote a piece in @dcexaminer about her challenges acquiring pepper spray for self-defense purposes in DC. Although it’s legal to posses, online retailers were not selling or delivering those items to DC addresses. We followed up w/ Amazon.

Sounds a lot like the state legislators that want to legalize weed but ban nicotine 🤦♀️

YES! Prohibition and raids don’t work. We CANNOT have safe products until the FDA does its job to get those products to the LEGAL market
For years, Communist China has flooded American markets with illegal, dangerous Chinese vapes. I’m urging @US_FDA to increase access to safe and regulated American alternatives.
