Undergirding all of this is also a commitment to professionalism and public service. JLG has a big vision and writes that she “will not undermine public trust by nullifying the work of her own agencies” in its pursuit. This would be a breath of fresh air 7/8🧵:

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 10/06/2026

JLG is also a proponent of road pricing, aiming to bring those health, economic, and transpo benefits to bear in the District. This stands in contrast to her main opponent, who recently flipped his stance on road pricing 6/8🧵:

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 10/06/2026

JLG’s multimodal approach to transportation extends to active transportation as well. She has a vision for creating more dedicated bike lanes and creating more car-free zones around the city. 5/8🧵:

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 10/06/2026

On transportation, @janeese4dc.bsky.social is a clear “bus bae,” in favor of dedicated bus lanes across the city, bus stop accessibility, and dedicated operations funding for transit. “If it’s faster, easier, and cheaper for people to get downtown by car—we are doing something wrong.” 4/8🧵:

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 10/06/2026

Furthermore, JLG understands improving housing opportunities means increasing density. She cites Paris’ density levels as ideal to replicate, particularly “where supply has been deliberately restricted as a legacy of segregation and perpetuated by anti-growth activism.” 3/8🧵:

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 10/06/2026

On building more housing: @janeese4dc.bsky.social has repeatedly called for increasing housing supply, especially transit-oriented development, to the tune of 72,000 new units in five years through an appropriately aggressive set of policies 2/8🧵:

DC! It is less than a week until the primary and it couldn’t be more important to support pro-housing, pro-transit candidates. Thankfully, we have a slate of great endorsees ready to hit the ground running. First up, our endorsed candidate for mayor: @janeese4dc.bsky.social 1/8🧵:

“There should be enough housing stock for those below median poverty levels, as well as those just out of college or young families looking for starter homes.”

“Better public transit, biking, pedestrian safety, supporting urbanist principles and increasing housing and density, transit-oriented development…matter to me.”

“We need to continue to encourage high-quality, sustainable development...while also emphasizing mixed-income housing, affordability, transit-oriented development, and redevelopment of our established communities and aging developments.”

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 12/05/2026

“Family-sized housing should be built in many forms, including apartments, townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes…It is housing that helps families put down roots, stay stable, and build community across generations.”

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 12/05/2026

“I will work to ensure housing, entertainment, employment, shopping, dining, and social activity are located within a short walking distance of the transportation hubs…reducing the dependence on personal vehicles while increasing the overall quality of life.”

“If we get housing wrong, families are priced out. If we get transportation wrong, congestion worsens and emissions rise. If we get land use wrong, we lock in inequity for decades.” @judashman.bsky.social

“I want more housing in my neighborhood. Near me in downtown Bethesda, the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Cordell has sat vacant for seven years. I want us to build opportunity for more neighbors...make sure nowhere stands vacant for so long in the future.” @drewemorrison.bsky.social

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 12/05/2026

“Rent stabilization protects tenants from sudden, destabilizing rent spikes. That matters. But on its own, it is not solving our affordability crisis…And without enough housing, rents will stay high no matter what we cap.”

“Housing should be family-sized, affordable, and workforce-friendly, providing access to jobs, schools, and services while supporting sustainable, walkable, and diverse neighborhoods.”

“Our efforts to keep rents low, build more housing supply, protect tenants, and allow markets to work are disjointed and flailing. We need to bring them into harmony.” @goldberginmd.bsky.social

"No resident should have to spend nearly $1,000 a month on a car simply because transit is slow or unreliable...we must make buses and trains competitive with driving in both time and reliability." @cmzparker5.bsky.social

"Zoning should encourage density and transit-oriented development. We also need to minimize unnecessary regulatory barriers and long, drawn-out court battles. I would consider legislation that limits 'bad faith' appeals while still allowing for meaningful community input."
