Tonight

Hearing from our neighbors in every ward of the District, it’s clear we need experienced leadership to tackle the big issues and help DC families prosper. DC deserves a mayor who has already done the work, and who will keep doing it. It’s not enough to make promises, DC families want their represen…

John, Yesterday, I released my plan to make DC more affordable, expand opportunity in every ward, and demand accountability from Trump and our city’s government. “Fight and Deliver: A Plan for ALL DC” is a comprehensive platform built around three pillars: >> Affordability: Lower housing c…

Tonight’s deadline

I wanted you to hear from me directly, John. I’m blown away by how big our grassroots operation has gotten since our campaign’s launch, but there’s still more to do. We’re facing bigger threats than ever before that need experienced leadership to solve them. I’m running to be your problem-solver,…

I was Mayor of DC during challenging times. That’s Why I’m Endorsing Kenyan

John, I have had the honor of serving the District of Columbia during one of the most consequential periods in our city’s history. I know what it means to govern in difficult times. I know what it takes to steady our finances, restore confidence, and protect our autonomy. And I know the differenc…

The Experience of a Fighter

John, Before Kenyan McDuffie was a lawmaker, he was a lawyer. He went to law school, passed the bar, clerked for a judge, became a local criminal prosecutor, and then eventually worked for the United States Department of Justice as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division under President …

I was a mailman before I was a Councilmember

John, Before I went to law school and before I served on the D.C. Council, I delivered mail for the United States Postal Service. This came right after high school. For me, this was one of the only options, at the time, to change the trajectory of my life. It gave me a steady paycheck, healthc…

Congress just overruled DC. Now we fight back.

Friends — Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to overturn DC’s decision to decouple our tax code from Trump’s “Big Billionaire Bailout” — taking funding away from our local tax credits to lift children out of poverty and stripping our city of hundreds of millions of dollars. I w…
