Dr. Oye Owolewa

Proud to represent the beauty and strength of the diaspora. 🇳🇬🇺🇸 As the first Nigerian American elected to federal office, I’ll never stop working to make sure every young person knows their voice, story, and culture matter. Full interview link in below ⬇️ youtu.be/RN0qwbwR4FM

JUST A FEW DAYS LEFT to enter our #animals4oye contest! Send us your best pet photos with Oye gear, signs, mailers! Email to team@vote4oye.com. While your’re at it, don’t forget to support Initiative 86, a DC ballot measure that would prohibit force-feeding birds and ban the sale of foie gras. *Team Oye loves animals so please ensure they are safe and happy in all photos* @DCV4A

Proud to be endorsed by the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters. Together, we’re fighting for stronger infrastructure, workforce investment, and more apprenticeship opportunities across DC. #Oye4DC #UnionStrong #LaborStrong

Thank you to everyone who joined me to oppose a new ICE headquarters in Congress Heights. We gathered at Clark Construction in NW to urge them to walk away from this project. ICE has no place in DC and this isn’t just a neighborhood issue, it’s a citywide one. Clark Construction makes $3 billion in DC projects alone, and they need to hear us when we say: ICE OUT.  Thanks to @DCNewsNow & @YamarieOnTV for being there! dcnewsnow.com/news/local-new…

📢 WTU proudly announces its endorsement of Oye Owolewa for DC Council At Large in the upcoming Democratic Primary on June 16. @repoyedc is a longtime advocate for public education and a familiar presence in DC classrooms. Read the full press release: wtulocal6.net/wtu_ranks_oye_…

And I’ll be back with Joloff rice

Thank you @notsyllytyler

Coincidentally this is the first time I’m voting in a primary where I feel like my vote matters across the board and am excited to to enthusiastically vote for each of my candidates @Janeese4DC, @BrianforDC, @aparnafordc, @repoyedc & @tweetelissa

Had a blast at this weekend’s Anacostia Mural Experience. Saw my main man Kokamoe (IYKYK) and was honored to join legendary Nee Nee for the unveiling of her mural This campaign has been fueled by the energy of the local heroes and sheroes who make DC what it is.

@billyez2 Congrats!!!

Graduation day!!!

@CouncilatPM Hey apologies for that. There’s times where we hit specific homes due to a generated walk list. Apologies for that again. DM me where I can find ya and I’ll stop by myself. Thanks

That lady right there is door knocking for @repoyedc and she walked by me sitting on my porch and I have been an Oye supporter since Day 1. She didn't speak or anything. 😒😒😒

Despite earning $3 billion from DC every year, Clark Construction continues to be involved with the ICE HQ project in SE DC. Join us this Monday at 5 pm at Clark HQ (1200 New Hampshire Ave NW) to demand an end to this. Clark must choose DC or ICE. They can no longer have us both.

This past weekend, I joined my dear friend and fellow Ward 8 elected, Commissioner Cheryl Moore for a meal distribution on Alabama Ave. Cheryl has been someone I’ve looked up to for years. I’m incredibly grateful to have her in my life.

Yesterday at The Samuel Kelsey Apartments, we talked with seniors about Medicare, Medicaid, healthcare coverage, and access not as policy talking points, but as everyday realities. One resident said it better than any campaign could: “This is why we need a medical professional on the Council.” Healthcare isn’t politics when it’s your prescription, your doctor, or your ability to get care. Rank Dr. Oye #1 for DC Council. Thank you to everyone that joined this discussion. #Oye4DC #RankOye1 #FightForDC

Some events tonight to help folks stay engaged, know your rights, and monitor what’s going on in our communities!

More Capital Stonewall Democrats endorsements- In the highly contested Ward - race, @MiguelWard1_ is #1 and @repoyedc for At-Large

WTU members have spoken and we’re excited to share our 2026 endorsement slate for the DC Primary and Special Elections. The D.C. Board of Elections began mailing ballots this week. Your vote matters in June.

Thank you to the Center for Innovations in Community Safety at Georgetown Law and every resident who showed up last night. These conversations matter. Safety is more than police. We cannot arrest our way to true safety. It takes housing, healthcare, schools that work, jobs people can build a life on, and communities with the resources to thrive. That is the DC I am fighting for. #Oye4DC

Proud to earn the endorsement of IAFF Local 36. Our firefighters and first responders show up for D.C. every day, and I’m honored to have their support as we continue fighting for safer neighborhoods, stronger communities, and a city that works for everyone. #Oye4DC #UnionStrong

From April 11 – May 10: • 2,334 donations • $589,631 raised • 267 DC donors Grateful for every person investing in a stronger DC for all 8 wards. Let’s keep building. ✊🏾 #TeamOye #Oye4DC #DCPolitics #DCCouncil
