@ZacharyforWard5 @AshleySchapitl I was struck when I looked into it that spending has risen much faster than inflation or population growth, hope you can help us figure out how we can get more cost-effective.

This gets to my general critique of the Council and how out of touch it can be. We have the most generous Medicaid program in the country and taxes are high. To imply the District does not spend significant resources on low-income residents is false.

Our commitment to equity can't be contingent on rosey financial outlooks. Yes, we must tighten our belt and continue growing our economy. Yes. But today’s budget briefing hinted at another lopsided budget that will deepen inequities across DC.

@mattyglesias @AshleySchapitl Yes, which is why I suggested in my budget letter having a standing tax and spending commission that would examine trends over time. We should evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the programs we spend millions on. The proposed budget slashes highly effective programs.

@rayvalentine19 How is JLG doing that? Has she done anything while on council to promote economic growth?

Not sure who this lady is but she's right: we need to prioritize growth, which means finding economic engines apart from the downtown office complex, which is unlikely to come back. Hope she is making a max donations to JLG, the only candidate trying to do that!

This is why I’m not supporting ideas I would otherwise be open to—we need a relentless focus on growing our economy, not new taxes, programs, and regulations.

@RiniSampath What would you do instead? You can’t just complain without your own proposals?

These brutal cuts to social programs are a result of mismanagement of our budget by the Mayor and DC Council. The city is taking away programs that help people because our leaders have been irresponsible.

NEWS: Today @MayorBowser unveils her proposed 2027 budget. It's $12.7 billion, a 3.3% decrease from last year. As expected, there are cuts to a key child care fund, as well as a paid leave program, and affordable housing. Healthcare for low-income residents is spared, though.

The NYT, WaPo, WSJ and Politico referred to Abigail Spanberger as a "moderate" more than 35 times last year. This is what "moderates" do:

10-year-old Jahari Alford was enjoying a bike ride with his friends on Saturday. Police said a group of guys on ATVs and dirt bikes ran him over while he was in the bike lane. They left him nearly lifeless on 14th and Chapin Street. bit.ly/4cijdHx

it is absolute LUNACY that Mayor Bowser is prioritizing a handful of parking spots over the amazing streetaries of Admo and Mt Pleasant. I have so many fond memories of hot summer nights outside at Suns and Marx Cafe. the neighborhood cheered at Elle’s streetery when Trump lost

As your next Mayor, I will approach every challenge with the same values that have guided me throughout my life: stand up for working people, fix broken systems, and demand accountability from those in power. Thank you for your endorsement, Peter. bit.ly/4dylNeJ via @WashBlade
