The Virginia county is the only D.C. area suburb that didn’t add to its 25-44 age group population. Experts say remote work and the cost of living could be causing the trend. wtop.com/loudoun-county…

My comments to WTOP on a couple of key Virginia House races. Always a pleasure to be quoted alongside @DrSFarnsworth. Two Northern #Virginia races could determine which party controls the VaHouseofDelegates of Delegates — a reminder of how every district and every vote matters.

The Virginia Board of Education just voted to implement the new higher cut scores (harder pass scales) on SOLs *incrementally* starting with the spring 2027 tests. The new cut scores would be *fully* implemented on the spring 2030 tests— that’s after Spanberger’s term is over.

It has been the honor of my life to be your Mayor. Together, we have built a legacy of success of which I am intensely proud. With a grateful heart, I am announcing that I will not seek a fourth term. For the next 12 months, let's run through the tape and keep winning for DC.

Update: After plenty of pestering by the D.C. Council, OSSE says it is finalizing a contract to put GPS trackers in the buses that carry kids with special education needs to and from school. This will allow parents to better know when the buses will pick up and drop off kids.

This is a really richly reported story and engaging presentation on how one small slice of D.C. experienced Trump's federal surge – and what the aftermath has been. Very well done, Katie Mettler, Ellie Silverman, Joy Sung, and Juan! washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/inter…
