Thrilled to co-introduce a groundbreaking DC Child Tax Credit with @CMZParker5 and colleagues. Ashley, a DC mom of 2 earning $60k, could see a 100% match on the federal EITC and an added $1,000 per child through DC. A real lift for families, our kids, our future.

When communication between landlords/ property managers and tenants is delayed, that can have a significant impact on tenants especially when you are paying your rent and need assistance. This panel of residents asked the management company direct questions and here’s a recap.

Our neighbors’ stories matter. Residents have been suffering in silence. No one deserves to live in unsafe conditions that affect their mental and physical health. I hear you , I see you , and I will be doing everything I can to assist. #FromNeglectToRespect

Proud to support legislation at that fights breed discrimination, caps pet fees, and keeps families together. We’re working to make DC a safer, kinder city because community means caring for all our neighbors and their pets. #pittiepalooza

The Interstate Social Work Licensure Compact of 2025, along with my past initiatives, makes it easier for social workers to serve across borders and provide better care. Less red tape means better support for those who need it most.

I am requesting clear answers regarding @DCPoliceDept cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and the disturbing incidents near schools. How is accountability being ensured when MPD appears to be acting outside current directives and practices?

lawsuit against Petra Management is a win for tenants. For too long, some landlords have exploited the system and profited at the expense of our neighbors' right to safe, affordable housing. We will continue fighting to protect residents and ensure fair housing for all.
NEW: Petra will pay $700,000 and overhaul its practices after we sued it for exploiting housing voucher programs in DC. We are dismantling Petra's illegal scheme to evade rent control laws, hike rents, and keep out tenants without vouchers. Fair housing is a promise we enforce.
