Comms for McDuffie here. Appreciate you raising this. Major events like the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon bring real economic and community benefits to DC, but we’ve got to do a better job minimizing disruption for residents and businesses. Kenyan is focused on a few things: Improving coordination with DDOT and MPD so closures are more targeted and better timed; Requiring clearer, more user-friendly maps and real-time updates so people can plan ahead; Making sure we’re engaging impacted communities and businesses earlier in the process. We can support events that bring people into the city and do right by the folks who live and work here.

hi @kenyanmcduffie & @Janeese4DC I would love to hear your plans on how we can prevent this annual event from stopping both North/South and East/West traffic in the District. This is so impactful to residents & businesses. And plans for MPD to do better map visuals of closures.

ICYMI: On Saturday, March 21, 2026, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon and 5K will take place in the District of Columbia. In conjunction with this event, there will be parking restrictions and street closures that motorists should take into consideration. mpdc.dc.gov/release/traffi…

Personal tragedy changed the trajectory of my life and was the spark that initially moved me to pursue public service. #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

What record? Pointing out that one has achieved nothing in their current job but wants to become the CEO is merely an observation. Also, pointing to “Andrew Cuomo tactics” is hilarious when a candidate is running for a city wide race in DC. They want this to be NYC so badly.
Alex Koma@AlexKomaDC

Some really strong words from JLG after the debate: she said McDuffie has been “piss poor” at oversight and said he was using “Andrew Cuomo tactics” to attack her record.

I hosted a Meet & Greet for Kenyan McDuffie’s campaign for DC Mayor @kenyanmcduffie. His speech demonstrated his relatability and capability. Given the state of local and national affairs, it’s important that DC elects proven leadership who can navigate us through turbulent times

Yesterday's McDuffie campaign volunteer takeover @ Bryant Street Market in Ward 5 was 🔥 I'm thankful for the tremendous support the campaign has received as we build this community of folks dedicated to the City's future. #fightanddeliver #fightforalldc

A "slow start"❓ How absurd. In 3 weeks, @kenyanmcduffie raised over $1 million. He's the first candidate to qualify for the ballot, with double the requisite signatures. He rolled out an expansive, detailed policy platform. His daily schedule is filled w/ grassroots events.

New: Kenyan McDuffie is ramping up his campaign amid speculation from supporters/opponents alike that his mayoral bid got off to a slow start. Bowser herself was among those fretting about his lack of visibility. McDuffie says it's early yet, but the primary is in just 3 months:

I'm honored to have the endorsement of former Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh. She's seen my record. She's seen my results. And she chose to endorse me. Mary knows what it takes to deliver results for DC as we fight for a safer, more affordable, and more inclusive city. In her own words: “For me, governing was always about getting results. Especially at the local level, leadership has to be practical, not ideological. Talk, as they say, is cheap. We need someone who has and will get things done. That’s why I’m voting for Kenyan McDuffie for Mayor.” kenyanmcduffie.com #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC #KenyanForMayor #DCMayor2026 @marycheh

Interesting: Former Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh is endorsing @kenyanmcduffie for mayor, saying that he has proven “he can get things done” while opponent @Janeese4DC has a record that “is essentially barren.” Cheh’s endorsement is helpful in vote-rich Ward 3.

My name is Kenyan McDuffie, I'm a lifelong Washingtonian, a former mailman, and most importantly—a husband and father. I'm running to be the next mayor to fight and deliver for all DC.
