Today's attack on two members of the West Virginia National Guard was horrific and unconscionable.

We can confirm that a suspect is in custody for this targeted shooting and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Our prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.

Kids Ride Free saves DC families hundreds of dollars every year.

Making sure kids get to and from school at no cost has been a priority—since I created the program as Councilmember and expanded it my first year as Mayor.

Because it puts money back in the pockets of DC families.
