Press release from Janeese Lewis George, page 1. Text: Today marks one year of the occupation of DC by federal forces, which has resulted in injury and trauma for DC residents, countless families separated by ICE, and the killing by federal law enforcement of Julian Bailey and Nolberto Meza, for which there has been no transparency or accountability. DC has the highest rate in the country of children separated from their parents. Federal agents are harassing our youth.

And the National Guard’s presence will cost federal taxpayers more than $1.4 billion dollars, which could be spent instead on housing, healthcare, education, and much more. This is on top of the millions DC is losing from the decrease in tourism and the firing of thousands of federal workers.

Press release from Janeese Lewis George, page 1. Text: Amidst these attacks, the people of DC have been rising up, speaking out, and organizing to protect their neighbors and city. Thousands of us have marched the streets, and many of us organized school walking buses and mutual aid. We’ve been mounting legal battles and winning.

As we continue the fight to win local autonomy and DC statehood, I will use every tool at my disposal as mayor to demand that these federal troops go home to serve their own communities and not be used for political theater and domestic military occupation.

My neighbor built a functioning 311 app in a matter of hours while it took OUC more than 6 weeks to fix their broken app. Throughout this process, OUC has been more interested in protecting themselves than learning from his app.

I served as a Commissioner for 2 terms. It was such a joy to meet neighbors, help them solve problems, connect with neighborhood businesses, and serve my community. We won more housing and even an 14th St express bus. If you decide to serve, I hope it'll be as meaningful for you as it was for me.

map showing places Kenyan McDuffie did better. It's very similar to the places in DC that have R-1 zoning, which bans duplexes and apartment buildings.

Big ups to DC's Board of Elections for deploying a ballot tracking system that builds confidence through great communication. I dropped my ballot off at my local library dropbox on Sunday and less than 24 hours later got a text that it was accepted. Voting by dropbox is fast, easy, and secure!

Def go vote and watch this super adorable (Pierce!) and hopeful video. If you received your ballot in the mail, I highly suggest filling it out and dropping in a drop box. It'll be much faster and less confusing than doing a computer ballot at the polling place.

I agree with Salah Czapary — a government that works is one that can tackle both the big issues and the small, everyday ones. For me, putting people first means delivering a government that gets things done for Washingtonians in all eight wards, no matter how big or small.

New: @janeese4dc.bsky.social just released an internal poll showing her up by 14 in the mayoral race: her lead stays at 12 even when they run a RCV simulation. This is quite the change from the public poll of the race, but I will say I’ve heard rumors of private polls with similar results.

Jeff Wall argued some horrific cases, defending the Muslim ban, winning a key victory on the path to ending Roe, and removing the Director of the cfpb, a key step in dismantling it. Those supporting KRM chose to be on the same team as Trump's prior top lawyer and Republican mega bundlers.

Ward 7 Dems / WUSA9 debate 🧵 This campaign is about a simple question: Who do you trust to show up and fight for all of us in all 8 wards. My record: Blocked extreme rent increases, banned utility shutoffs after Pepco overcharged us, and put money in the pockets of families by expanding EITC.

Over the past few months, many DC residents have opened their utility bills to find shocking increases—sometimes doubling or rising by hundreds of dollars. I'm introducing emergency legislation to temporarily pause electricity shutoffs as regulators review the legality of these increases.

Kenyan McDuffie delivered us all higher Pepco bills. A new @markrodeffer.bsky.social piece in @51st.news explains the details. "Kenyan McDuffie could have scrutinized utility rate hikes and defended struggling ratepayers. Instead, he sided with utilities. Now D.C. families are paying the price."

The Public Service Commission needs stronger supervision from the D.C. Council.

Skipping a major education forum in Ward 7 is an odd thing to do period but especially for someone who "seeks to ramp up [his] campaign amid early jitters".

1. No amount of mutual aid can replace a government that works.

Graphic that says: This weekend’s storm was uniquely challenging and the entire region is struggling. It’s Wednesday and there’s still snow and ice everywhere. But extreme weather is increasingly common and
DC needs to be better prepared for it.
