Mónica Martínez López ran for ANC because she loves her community - its shared spaces, neighbors, and everyday moments of connection. She's a bridge-builder, a fierce advocate, and a friend I’m proud to support. Congress has no right to erase her. #HandsOffDC www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
If you're a D.C. Library user, be aware: The D.C. Public Library system says it is likely going to have to reduce opening hours at neighborhood branches, from the current 61 hours a week to 40 hours. Branches would also go from being open seven days a week to five days.

#DYK? Metro is good for your health. People who ride transit walk as much as 30 minutes more a day, increasing heart health, building muscle, and reducing risk of heart disease. Take Metro on this #NationalExerciseDay!
