This budget invests in a safer, stronger DC now and looks ahead to include investments that will accelerate our comeback.

Story by Scott Taylor : 7 News - WJLA TV wjla.com/features/i-tea…

I’ve been briefed on the earthquake with an epicenter in New Jersey, and we are not reporting any major disruptions to DC residents at this time.

We will continue working with our regional and local partners to monitor and respond to potential impacts in the District.

Yesterday, I testified in support of our FY25 Budget.

We must make shared sacrifices and strategic investments to address a confluence of post-COVID factors and drive economic growth.

Tomorrow, we're cutting the ribbon at the brand-new DC Health headquarters.✂️🎀

Join us to celebrate this exciting milestone and all of the teams who've been part of this process:

⏰11AM
📍2201 Shannon Place SE

We never give up and we know how to make a strong comeback. But our wins are never accidental.

Through strategic investments and shared sacrifice, our FY25 Budget will keep DC the best city in the world not just for the next few years, but for generations.

Let's stick together.

We know how important it is to our Downtown and our entire city to keep DC’s teams in DC.

This is a win-win-win: for the city, for our teams, and for the fans.

Presenting our dynamic slate of events for Deaf History Month 2024! Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion, insightful panels, and a celebration of D/DB/DD/HH/LD communities! Events are open to people of all hearing levels. Follow us to stay informed!
