    Can we not do this? These are United States Supreme Court Justices. Kavanaugh was born in DC. His mother taught at two local high schools. This is and has always been in our backyard.

    I’m so grateful to have run for DC Council Chairwoman. This campaign started from the simple belief that government acts in service of residents. And that it can do and be better. Every DC resident deserves to have their basic needs met and high-quality government services.

    Our Democratic President is actively undermining the District’s local government and setting back our DC Statehood efforts. A terrible decision that opens the door to further Congressional meddling and threats to our local self determination.

    I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings. If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I’ll sign it.

    Every map of DC is the same - whether you’re talking about income inequality, food access, transportation access, traffic safety infrastructure, maternal mortality, heat islands, pollution and air quality, etc. This is the result of intentional policy choices and disinvestment.

    🗣️🗣️🗣️ There is a reason the map of homicides (& overdoses which also is a public health emergency but gets very little coverage) looks practically identical to the map of access to resources. The safest communities have the most resources. Not the most cops or cages.

    Just as we don’t flip flop on vaccination requirements for school entry, we shouldn’t do it for Covid-19. It’s bad public health policy and poor communications strategy.

    I want to thank the @trayonwhite election worker who lent his folding chair to my mom while we were at Hillcrest Rec. It was kind and I appreciate it.

    Places to sit. Corners to nurse babies. Public restrooms. Exhibits to pique your curiosity. A beautiful rooftop garden to calm you that is also stormwater infrastructure. Resources. Live music and lectures. Books and more books. 📚 All free! 💫 The library is a magical place. 💫

    The awesome thing about us libraries is that for you to be inside no purchase is necessary even in the pouring rain. Everyone is welcome 🙏🏽
