Getting help shouldn’t be another hurdle. Today, I voted to advance the Automatic Enrollment for Utility Affordability Programs Act. If we already know a family qualifies for help with electric, gas, or water bills, we should connect them to it and not make them prove it all over again.

DC is mourning Allen “Uzikee” Nelson, a visionary sculptor whose work honoring Black history and culture shaped our city. In Ward 4, his Paul Robeson sculpture is part of the fabric of Petworth. My heart is with his wife, fellow artist Januwa, his family, and all who loved him. Rest in power.

Great meeting with DC Flight, our city's first professional women’s volleyball team! 🏐💜 We talked about the power of girls seeing women compete and lead at the highest level, and why every young person deserves the opportunity to play. See you at The Anthem in 2027!

We're back! As the Council returns from recess, I'm reflecting on some of my favorite moments from the past few years. Every fight and every victory has been powered by neighbors who believe a better DC is possible. I'm ready to keep working alongside you. Let's get to work, Ward 4! 💜
