Thanks to D.C. govt for investing in public restrooms via @thronebathrooms.bsky.social As a dog walker, I depend upon public restrooms. As D.C.'s Delegate to Congress, I will fight for federal funding that catalyzes public restroom restoration + deployment in more of D.C. gordonchaffin.com

I'm the dog walker running for Congress to represent D.C. I'm on Medicaid bc the health discounts I need end TONIGHT on a government shutdown. Negotiations on Capitol Hill are blah, blah, blah - disconnected from our affordability crisis. We need leaders who feel this vividly pain. gordonchaffin.com

I was stopped in my tracks yesterday on a dog walk. The 1700 block of Bay St SE has a fantastic display of @freedcproject.bsky.social energy. Most houses here fly our flag. We Washingtonians demand sovereignty. That starts by rolling back the recent sabotage measures from the President & Congress.

Wonderful to see all the joy last night at @eventsdc.bsky.social Art All Night! Local D.C. residents showed up and had fun amid and despite the federal sabotage of the economy and our safety.

I've seen kids aggressively killing Spotted Lantern Flies and busy professionals taking time out of their lunch break to do the same. I'm inspired by the nerdiness & civic pride of our community. Join our movement for a new generation of leaders killing pests for public service at GordonChaffin.com

I'm a small business owner running for Congress to represent Washington, D.C. I've felt public safety disorder here, but recent Fed law enforcement actions have *increased* instability. We need a generation of leaders to fight for a better biz environment. gordonchaffin.com

I love seeing the quickly growing number of homes with @freedcproject.bsky.social signs and flying the D.C. flag. The District has an identity and people that insists on autonomy.

D.C. Council hired a lobbyist to combat growing indifference from Congress about unprecedented sabotage of local Washington. Where is our current Delegate? Aren't they lobbying? I'm running for Delegate for D.C. bc we need a new generation of leaders at gordonchaffin.com

I'm running for Congress to represent D.C. to be the change I want to see in the District: a new generation of leaders combating sabotage from the Feds, not pretending it's support. gordonchaffin.com

🚨 What's happening in D.C. right now is sabotage, not support. Our Mayor said that she was okay w/ the Feds indefinitely commanding District streets. This is extremely frustrating. We need leaders of a new generation who recognize the difference between good faith and bad faith. gordonchaffin.com

📢 I'm running for Delegate to the U.S. House representing D.C. We need a new generation of leadership to clash with unprecedented sabotage of the District from Trump and Congress. Washingtonians are ready to fight against police takeovers and $1 billion heists of our local funds. gordonchaffin.com
