When we fight, we win.
I appreciate WABA and all the people who stood strong for the 15th Street bike lane. A federal judge blocked Trump's attempt to remove it -- and quoted a letter I wrote!
Our students deserve safe, equitable, and supportive learning environments.

Oh, good point on the dollars on the extention!
I meant trading a 5th and a 6th-round pick for a guy with one year left was interesting. They must really like him and feel he'll help set Mannion up for success.
@jimmykempski.bsky.social, can you speak a bit to the compensation?
Given that he had only one year of team control, it seems like more than I would have expected in compensation. If he turns out to play at a high level, it's obviously worth it.
At Union Temple, we say it’s a family affair. Thank you for building me into the woman that I am today.
Happy Good Friday 💜
Would you like to guess which of the candidates supports reducing the amount of DC covered by historic preservation districts and which supports the status quo?
How did the conversation go?!
I'm so glad you connected with one of the volunteers and hopefully know more JLG now.
Let me know if you ever have any questions and we'll be happy to get you some answers!
After much thought, David has chosen JLG and his new substack will help moderates, especially those with pro-housing, pro-bike, and other urbanist values navigate thinking about the race in his smart, clear, educational writing style so if you are trying to decide or just love David, follow along.
For most progressives, the choice in the DC mayor's race is pretty clear.
For moderates though, especially those who don't want corruption or the status quo, the choice is more complicated. Y'all are cross-pressured and that's a place where going beyond the vibes can really help.
I have learned an extraordinary amount from David Alpert as a friend and as a GGW reader. He is starting an important new writing projct about DC's mayoral race and I hope you'll follow along.
So many endorsements have come in that I am not sure I even have them all properly logged. Let me know if I am missing anything!
Current count:
3️⃣2️⃣ Janeese Lewis George
4️⃣ Kenyan McDuffie (including one from an org that also endorsed Trump)
0️⃣ Other candidates

Over the past few months, many DC residents have opened their utility bills to find shocking increases—sometimes doubling or rising by hundreds of dollars.
I'm introducing emergency legislation to temporarily pause electricity shutoffs as regulators review the legality of these increases.
The 15th Street bike lane is a model of how DC and the federal government can work together, not just for Washingtonians, but for the tourists that support our economy too.
If anyone was interested to learn more about the exchange at the end of yesterday's @freedcproject.bsky.social forum, here is a detail discussion of the issues from the DC @sierraclub.org.

A New York ballot sample showing that Andrew Cuomo used the slogan/ ballot line name of "Fight and Deliver"
McDuffie also uses the same slogan as Andrew Cuomo. Maybe it's a coincidence.
Kenyan McDuffie delivered us all higher Pepco bills.
A new @markrodeffer.bsky.social piece in
@51st.news explains the details.
"Kenyan McDuffie could have scrutinized utility rate hikes and defended struggling ratepayers. Instead, he sided with utilities. Now D.C. families are paying the price."
This past weekend, we partied at Transmission, participated in the DC Women In Politics forum, spent time with family in community, celebrated International Women’s Day at Zooz, and held several meet & greets! We talked, laughed, listened, and danced!
A picture of a story by WAMU emphasizing that McDuffie is "ramping up" his campaign.
A picture of a tweet emphasizing that Kenyon McDuffie has not been attending forums including one this evening.
Skipping a major education forum in Ward 7 is an odd thing to do period but especially for someone who "seeks to ramp up [his] campaign amid early jitters".
"The Sierra Club endorses Janeese Lewis George because she has a strong record of fighting for clean energy, working to lower utility bills with energy efficiency, and cutting pollution in our city. She is the bold leader we need to deliver meaningful results for DC."
Today the Sierra Club endorsed Janeese in her campaign for Mayor. They are the first environmental/climate organization to endorse in the race.
The endorsement count is now:
1️⃣1️⃣ Janeese Lewis George
0️⃣ Kenyan McDuffie
0️⃣ All other candidates
Read on to see why Sierra Club endorsed JLG.

With the endorsement of the largest healthcare union in the US (1199 SEIU), @janeese4dc.bsky.social continues to be the unanimous choice of unions and advocates for good jobs!
She now leads the pack with 🔟 endorsements. Her opponents all have 0.

Let’s show our buses some love, so our buses can love us back.
After triggering a local recession with mass federal layoffs and blocking DC from using $1 billion of its own money last year, Republicans in Congress are at it again.
Today's vote threatens to cause chaos, blowing a $600 million hole in DC's budget.
🌹 @janeese4dc.bsky.social has won the support of Metro DC DSA. DSA's Stop Out Slumlords campaign is among the largest (if not the biggest) pro-tenant organizing group in the city.
This brings the overall endorsement count to:
9️⃣ Janeese Lewis George
0️⃣ All other candidates

Hey DC, do y'all think we should have the best affordable, universal childcare program in the nation? Janeese thinks we should!
Unless he comes back! 🙏
heating.
I cannot wait for @janeese4dc.bsky.social to be mayor.
Guess who responded immediately????
Guess who is taking these concerns seriously?
Guess who acted as soon as they found out about this to make sure she was doing everything in her power to fix this? JLG.
