@Meagan_Flynn i'm guessing Trayon wins.

It's Election Day in Ward 8, where voters will decide whether to return indicted Trayon White to the D.C. Council or opt for new leadership. We'll be talking to voters all day and you can follow along in this story which will be updated: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

@MayorBowser Please control for job type. Consider Microsoft, where women actually have greater income than their male counterparts for each specified job. This proclamation is just promoting victimhood and racial identity while disregarding relevant facts. cbsnews.com/news/the-gende…

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. It marks how far into 2025 Black women must work to earn what their white male counterparts made by the end of 2024. Let's honor this day by continuing to drive progress, pursue equity, and invest in opportunities for our residents.

@AdamTuss @wmataGM @nbcwashington Ft. Totten was featured in Metro Jumpers. Maybe someday the security professionals who metro pays will actually address this. rumble.com/v3gojrq-metro-…

Happening now - Metro leaders launch increased bus fare enforcement at Fort Totten Metro station. @wmataGM says Metro is losing $40-$50 million per year in bus fare evasion. A staggering 70% plus of Metrobus riders are not paying the fare right now. #wmata @nbcwashington

@oucmecalling311 @CM_McDuffie @trayonwhite @maustermuhle @51stnews @AlexKomaWCP @CMBrookePinto @CMCHenderson @ChmnMendelson McDuffie never answered my questions about DC Lottery's contract with his cousin (before Intralot). I'll ask him again if i make it to Council.

More importantly what are @CM_McDuffie ties to Intralot and how is he leading the investigation against @trayonwhite, there seems to be some inherent conflict of interest here? @maustermuhle @51stnews @AlexKomaWCP @CMBrookePinto @CMCHenderson @ChmnMendelson

Or, in the case of the newest Lidl, the shopping carts are all stolen within 3 days.

Many people have serious concerns about Trayon remaining as a councilmember. Here's a compilation. #imwithtray #DCision24 #ward8

@MayorBowser @LAYCDC @LorenzoHall Or more depraved. Leave the kids alone.

The 17th Street High Heel Race just got even more colorful! Students from @LAYCDC, alongside muralist Lisa Marie Thalhammer, designed a vibrant new mural along the race route to celebrate LGBTQ+ youth, visibility, and pride. Story by @LorenzoHall wusa9.com/article/life/p…

@Ward8Dems i don't know how you stay motivated for this cycle.

@WendellforWard7 @trayonwhite no shame. wow.

Today I’m proud to be endorsed by Councilmember @trayonwhite. He is the 4️⃣th sitting Councilmember to endorse me given evidence that I have the relationships to be effective to serve #Ward7 on Day One. Vote for Wendell Felder (#1 on the ballot) by or before June 4th.

I'm curious if @WendellforWard7 still accepts his endorsement from @trayonwhite. I haven't heard otherwise. Updated picture attached.

picture with the likely winners on November 5th. Except for the top left corner maybe. @DCDemocrats

While most testimonies at the hearing just asked for more money for the corrupt and ineffective Violence Interrupter programs, @TheRealCommiss2 was maybe the only one calling for it to end. I'm thankful for the few residents who make the sacrifice to testify. 🫡 highlights here-

Trayon White, Ward 8 loves him! youtube.com/shorts/pco-Smh… via @YouTube

@salimadofo I don't think that the problem in Ward 8 is lack of political organization. I think a more helpful perspective is to consider one's own situation: family, income, and living conditions, then work to improve those rather than organize and petition the government.

As leaders we have to be more creative at getting people in under resourced communities engaged with policy & legislation. Many residents don’t believe their voices matter, because their current leadership does not include them in the process. Leadership is a collective process, not a singular one. Leaders should be doing all they can to keep residents informed and aware. If leaders are not doing this, it’s because they either do not know how or benefit from keeping people ignorant. Neither one of these postures are good for the health of the community. An organized community, is a healthy & vibrant one. What organizes people? CLARITY! Being clear & informed on what the issues are, & our capacity to address them. Our problem is not that we are poor, lazy or stupid. Our problem is that we are not organized. Our problem is we are not clear and informed on the issues, and what we can do to address them. Therefore, we lack the resources needed to thrive. We will get what we organize for. #AStandardOfExcellence #TeamSalim #WeAreWard8

It was nice of DCBOE to bring more clarity on the #Ward8 ballot. They didn't need to do that. @trayonwhite

In other "the audacity" news. My councilmember is ramping up his re-election campaigns and is now publicly soliciting volunteers and donations. I guess you're going to have to pry that seat out of his cold dead pockets.

@flofraz2 For interested homeowners: reducing the cost for buyers and making incentives all take money for other taxpayers and inequitably benefit those who get to the program first. Eliminating government ownership and control of 10,000+ give buyers many more options.

@NateWard_8 You mentioned healthcare and home ownership. The audience is primarily concerned about affordable rent because everyone can’t qualify for a mortgage. The few who can would be interested in reduced cost and buyer incentives, but what about renters? You’re not right for Ward8.

Hear my response to a question about gentrification at the Town Hall after Trayon's arrest. more of my speech is at facebook.com/NateWard8/vide…

@flofraz2 Renters are suffering due to shortages created by copious government programs (HPTF, rent control, IZ, DCHA) that allow thousands of vacant units and enrich slumlords. Deleting these increases supply and reduces rent. Happy to hear your solutions, i only want the best ideas.

@FievreduPotomac @fox5dc Please comment on my platform where i specify 6 issues and solutions that aren't more of the same big-government solutions. I only want the best ideas.

@NateWard_8 @fox5dc Such a deeply serious guy when it comes to addressing the serious needs of residents of Ward 8 and the City as a whole.

While Nate Derenge has taken aim at Trayon White’s alleged corruption, his platform goes far beyond just criticizing his opponent. fox5dc.com/news/meet-nate…
