Breaking the cycle of homelessness requires more than temporary shelter – it demands a foundation of comprehensive support. New Endeavors by Women (NEW) provides this critical lifeline for women & kids experiencing homelessness by offering the resources needed to build brighter, independent futures.

Our region lost more than 100,000 jobs last year. To create opportunity for our residents, DC has to be the best place in the country to start and grow a business. That means supporting our businesses and workers, filling Downtown vacancies, and attracting new high-growth industries.

We have a crisis here in the District: domestic-violence related incidents are increasing in our communities, and we have to take action now to better protect our residents.

Downtown DC is the backbone of our local economy, and a thriving downtown supports financial stability across our entire city. I was honored to join the DowntownDC Foundation and discuss our vision for a prosperous downtown.

We cannot have armed National Guards in or around our schools and young people. Our schools must remain welcoming environments of learning and growth, and spaces where all DC students, parents, and school staff can feel safe and can thrive.

No one is above the law. The fraud allegations against the six MPD officers are a deep betrayal of public trust and a waste of hard-earned taxpayer money. Public corruption will not be tolerated in the District.

One year ago, the presidential administration launched a manufactured intrusion on the District – seeking to federalize our local Metropolitan Police Department and deploying the National Guard.
