@tweetelissa Why are you posting residents’ addresses on social media?

Signed, sealed, delivered! Earlier today, I delivered 3,904 signatures to qualify for the 6/16 Special Election for the independent seat on the DC Council. My campaign checks our signatures prior to turning in, and we had an 86% validity rate, meaning 3,357 are verified voters!

With profound sadness, we honor the life and legacy of #KikiShepard. She was a cherished member of The Apollo family and the incomparable voice and presence that helped define our stage for a generation. For more than 15 years.

We broke ground on the new Douglass Community Center. Thank you to Mayor Bowser, Commissioner Moore, DPR & DGS for getting us here and keeping your commitments. But let’s be real—a $25M center should have a gym. While we celebrate today, we must keep pushing for more in Ward 8
