So much energy and passion last night for a future Mayor who will fight back against ICE and federal terrorism in DC, work for affordable housing & childcare and put people first. I was SO excited to be at her kickoff and excited for the future MAYOR @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social will create for us!

Enough already! DC police must end all collaboration with ICE and federal immigration enforcement. FULL STOP! 🛑

Thank you @brianneknadeau and the Committee on Public Works & Operations for putting the facts on the record and recommending real change. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

As a longtime education policy leader & proud daughter of a union worker, I know one truth: when teachers are protected and paid fairly, our education system is stronger! I’m looking forward to tonight's WTU candidate forum. Tune in at 6pm tonight. aft.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Happy New Year! As we step into 2026 together, I’m grateful for the resilience, care, and community spirit that make our beautiful Ward 1 so special, even through a year of change and challenge. Wishing every resident a year filled with health, opportunity, and abundance for you and your loved ones.

Our city has experienced some tough times this year. But I’ve seen neighbors standing up, lifting each other up, and showing a sense of community that I love about our ward and love about our city.

So just continue to love on one another and lift each other up. Happy holidays everyone.

Great meet and greet at the Berlins! I enjoyed the good energy, great conversation and holiday treats. The Berlins brought together a diverse crowd from across the ward. We talked about the District’s federal overreach, noise ordinance laws, traffic calming, and affordability!

Thanks Nastassia & Jason. It was great meeting with justice advocates! I’m inspired by the work you do and hear your calls to end solitary confinement and invest in harm reduction, violence interruption and young engagement programs. And thanks for the delicious Latkes🥰!

Hanukkah is about finding the light in the world even amidst darkness. I hold the Jewish community close today, and all days. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.

Rebuilding trust is the most urgent and important job of our next police chief. They will have to demonstrate their commitment to putting our residents first, upholding our values, and adhering to both the letter and spirit of D.C.’s Sanctuary Values Act.
