Our potential

Join our movement for a better DC. Friends,  I’m running for mayor because I know DC’s potential. That’s why I’m raising my kids here and that’s why I’m so proud of my hometown.

I Will Prioritize Paid Leave

The Mayor is pushing it back and diminishing its funds Friends,  Mayor Bowser is moving to delay expanding DC’s paid leave benefits and wants to pull nearly half a billion dollars from the fund.
