I’m proud to get the endorsement of teachers! Thank you to the Washington Teachers' Union for your support and confidence. We will continue to fight for our educators!

Today, the Council--in partnership with the administration--took a long-overdue step toward making #TalbertStreet homeowners whole. After today's unanimous vote in favor of my emergency bill, we have a roadmap to move this plan forward. #RiverEastAtGrandview
🧵I've intro'd several bills trying to solve the issue of DCs #SocialWork er shortage: a major cause of the backlog in processing #Housing vouchers. I'm glad that today the Council moved a bill that enables ppl w/ bachelors/masters in #SocialWork but who are unlicensed to do more.
My career day buddy at Washington School for Girls recently! Mrs. White is inspiring future attorneys!
