This is the DC Iām fighting for!
This past Saturday: brought the flavor AND the solutions.
You can judge the plate, but Iām focused on delivering results for DC.
Good food. Real conversations. Better policy.
On March 14th, I protested the $524 million plan to build the ICE HQ in Southeast DC with dozens residents and activists. Follow our campaign to join the Fight against ICE.

Have you checked out our conversation w/ @repoyedc.bsky.social on the @ghpoliticspodcast.bsky.social yet? A #pharmacist, Dr. Owolewa serves as the #ShadowRepresentative to #Congress for the nation's #capital. He talks #publichealth & D.C. #statehood as a candidate for D.C. Council lnkd.in/gJmasNNy
Congress, not the Executive Branch alone has the authority to declare war.
The recent U.S.strikes on Iran raise serious concerns about the lack of congressional authorization.
D.C. residents are denied control over our own tax dollars,yet federal funds move quickly toward military escalation abroad.
Tuesday night at Benās 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.
Weāre building something special in this city, and weāre just getting started.
Letās keep going.
It's not everyday that you get to talk with one of America's most promising new political voices. Listen to my chat with @repoyedc.bsky.social as he shares his experience as the son of immigrants, a pharmacist at a time when research funding for new drugs been slashed & as candidate for DC Council

Reverend Jesse Jacksonās 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.
Iām 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 Iām running.

For the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, Iām 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.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton leadership and legacy have helped shape the fight for full representation for D.C. residents, and her impact will be felt for generations.
Honored to uplift her legacy and continue the work toward full representation for our city.
Proud to be endorsed by LIUNA! Baltimore/Washington District Council, I will always stand with the workers who build our communities and keep our region moving forward.
