We need to know this shared strength to overcome our odds. And America desperately needs what we have. Let’s keep working to make America serve one another again. DC can show the way.

As we said all along, it’s easy to say what divides this nation’s great capital. But what unites us is at least as powerful. New York is the city of money. LA is the city of fame. But DC is the city of service — federal service, community service, and service to one another.

I am so grateful to everyone who knocked doors, made calls, contributed funds, collected signatures, sent emails, and hosted meet-and-greets across the city. We up-leveled this race in ways that will last!

We got into this race to defend Home Rule, advance statehood, and salvage an economy Donald Trump has put at unforgivable risk. Along the way we gathered friends, neighbors and supporters in every Ward and neighborhood. And we will need them because those fights are still very real.

DC has been faithfully served for over 3 decades by Delegate Norton, and I want to build on her legacy. My name is listed first on the ballot. I’d be honored to have your 1st choice ranking.

Yesterday, the President threatened to strip DC of Home Rule if he does not like the election outcome in our local elections. We stand together to say clearly: that is an attack on democracy.

Have you seen the latest BS from the President? DC needs a proven national fighter to stand up to Trump as he tries to attack DC for daring to even consider voting for someone he doesn't like. By June 16, vote for me, Kinney Zalesne, for DC Delegate!

DC is the City of Service, because here in DC we feel an obligation to our neighbors, even if we’re suffering, we can help someone who’s got it worse. Thank you so much to Reverend Mike for such an emotional conversation on the issues facing our city.

What Trump has done to DC's economy is not only tragic, it was deliberate. He has tried to dismantle the Black middle class. We need to rebuild our economy in a way that is not dependent on the federal government.

6 Days until the DC Primary! Over 90% of DC's voters haven't cast a ballot yet, so everything is still up for grabs in this last week. Go vote and rank me number 1 for DC Delegate by June 16!

Do NOT rank Robert White on D.C. primary ballot for Delegate. He has more ambition than achievements, more arrogance than courage. He is a pretender. Rank @kinney4dc.bsky.social: national credentials for national role. Support Trent Holbrook 2nd and write-in Black single father Kelly Mikel Williams.

I sat down with Michael Schaffer on City Cast DC to discuss a range of issues from how I will stand up for DC Autonomy, to the undue scrutiny DC faces, to DOGE, to how we win statehood, and more. Thank you so much to City Cast DC for having me on their podcast. (1/5)

D.C. voters make big impact with June primary ballot by ranking newcomer candidates like @kinney4dc.bsky.social 1st. Our new rank system means supporting a fresh perspective doesn't cost u your vote -- it goes to frontrunner you ranked 2nd (or 3rd) if the final count is frontrunner vs. frontrunner.

As we salute the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom for all, we also remember that some of these soldiers, like those from DC, did so for a country which still denies them the full rights of every other citizen.

Costs are too damn high. Whether it’s gas or groceries, DC residents can’t afford basics like we used to. When I’m in Congress I’ll fight to make DC an economic engine again that makes it easier for us to get good-paying jobs that make living in our nation’s capital affordable again.

Kinney for DC @kinney4dc.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
While people are struggling to afford to live, the President is wasting the American people's money on vanity projects. As I laid out during my interview with @briantylercohen.bsky.social, this is a shameful sin against every American.
