Dear Washingtonians,
Our north star is protecting Home Rule and the District's autonomy.
 I know there’s a lot of anxiety in our city. Over the last few weeks, I've seen DC residents do exactly what I would expect from our city – you’re focused on your neighbors and our autonomy. You’re concerned for each other, for our local control, and our rights as Americans. You’re defending our city, promoting our city, and many of you are giving me ideas, talking to me, and trusting my judgment. Thank you.
Sincerely,
  Find photos from this week on Facebook.
