When I moved to DC at 24, I volunteered in classrooms at Turner and Malcolm X Elementary and asked students to call each other “doctor.” I wanted them to hear that possibility in their own voices before anyone else defined their future. This morning, I joined Mrs. Cora Masters

Proud to stand with Pro Animal as the Yes on 86 campaign turned in 45,000+ signatures to put a ban on force-fed foie gras on the November ballot. That is more than 17,000 above what was needed. Animals cannot vote. You can. A livable DC is one that refuses to look away from

This Saturday I am marching in the Palisades 4th of July parade, and I hope you can join me. Independence Day means something particular in DC. We are the only Americans who pay full federal taxes, send our children to serve in every war, and still do not have a single vote in

Enjoyed last night’s Rammy’s spending time with the Ali’s from Ben Chili Bowl and other change agents who make DC what it is. We must attract industries and tourism to feed our hospitality space. In addition, I’ll work to bring communities together to rebuild the DC you deserve.
