Tuesday night at Ben’s Chili Bowl was a whole vibe.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, brought a friend, grabbed a veggie dog, and made this midway celebration unforgettable.

We’re building something special in this city, and we’re just getting started.

Let’s keep going.

Reverend Jesse Jackson’s life reminds us that faith and justice must walk together.

Grateful to @DCNewsNo for sharing my reflection on a leader who believed deeply in people and never stopped pushing this country forward.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Cries for Change and Silent Cry Inc.

Their work centers healing, accountability, and justice for those harmed by broken systems. That vision aligns deeply with why I’m running.

For the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, I’m honoring one of my favorite Washingtonians: Dr. Charles Richard Drew. Born and raised in DC, his groundbreaking work on blood plasma made modern blood banks possible. A true example of brilliance in service to community.

Force-feeding ducks to produce foie gras is cruelty.
This practice is banned in dozens of states and countries.
DC must be a cruelty-free District

I spoke out against federal overreach and the reported takeover of D.C.’s public golf courses, because decisions about our city must be made by the people who live here.
