Today I met with DC students, whose parents are stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, for Month of the Military Child. Being a child of a military family can be tough and all that the kids, and their parents, sacrifice is in the service of our country. We thank you!

In response to Chairman Mendelson and Mayor Bowser’s request for legal review, I provided a formal opinion stating that the CFO’s failure to certify DC’s FY2025 budget would have no legal effect, and that the Mayor and Council are responsible for deciding how to allocate funds.
162 years ago today, slavery in the District was eliminated, and 3,100 enslaved people were freed. DC's Emancipation Day holiday commemorates this. #EmancipationDay
Thanks to @ChmnMendelson, @charlesallen, @AmberGove, and the many neighbors and community members who advocated for the District to intervene.
NEW: Our office secured a $1.8 million judgement from the owners of the long vacant property at 1000 C St NE for evading the District's vacant property tax for over a decade.
That’s a wrap: a 15+ hour hearing! Thank you to everyone who testified at today’s Committee of the Whole budget oversight hearing for the DME, OSSE, and DCPS. I’m committed to fighting for our schools, educators, and students in this budget cycle.

27 years ago yesterday, Council Chairman Dave Clarke passed away. He served from 1975 to 1983 as the first-ever Home Rule Ward 1 Councilmember, then served from 1983-1991 & 1993-1997 as Council Chairman. The law school at @udc_edu is named for him. wapo.st/1RqQ0Ip

I had a fantastic visit with 3rd graders from @PayneDCPS at the Wilson Building today - great questions and ideas for their city! Ranged from improved school lunch, better technology in their classrooms, to sidewalk maintenance and more. Glad I could get them up on the dais too!
