¡Estamos muy emocionados porque hemos alcanzado oficialmente 1.000 donantes de DC para nuestra campaña! 🥳

Esto es lo que significa tener una campaña impulsada por el pueblo. Gracias a todos los que han donado. Una Zona 1 y un DC mejores y más asequibles están a nuestro alcance.

So many great conversations and so much fun at our childcare & coffee meetup! 🌈🍂🫧

The average cost of childcare in DC is $22,000 / year per child. If we want to keep families in DC, we need free childcare for every family and better pay for childcare workers.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our FIRST CANVASS EVER! 🚪

Such a beautiful, spooky fall day to talk to voters about how our campaign will fight to lower the cost of living and defend DC, and to hear from people about what they want to see in Ward 1. ✊🏾🍂💀

Two great events today ✨

We spent the morning at a brunch meet & greet with neighbors at Park Triangle and then stopped by a block party on Otis. Lots of good convos about housing affordability, free childcare, helping small businesses, and more. A beautiful fall day! 🍁🥯

Workers are the backbone of DC. But for too long, it's been a struggle to get by and now, labor is under attack.

DC for Workers, by Workers is our new policy platform to strengthen workers' rights, support unions, raise the wage, increase benefits, and keep bad actors in check.

Workers built DC and they make this city run.

Today, we’re proud to announce that 4 major unions representing workers in food service and hospitality, public transit, and DC government have endorsed our campaign: @unitehere.org Locals 23 and 25, @atulocal689.bsky.social, and AFGE Local 2725 ✊🏽🥳

We are beyond proud to endorse Aparna Raj for Ward 1!

Aparna has stood with us on picket lines and at rallies, and knows personally what it means to build power for working people as a Union member herself.

We know that she will have our backs on Council and we are excited to have hers now.

The BUS!!
🗣️ THE BUS!

This week is the #WeekWithoutDriving! 🚴🏾‍♀️🚇🚃

We can make transit fast, free, and the easiest option for everyone in DC. Weeks like this help us get there.

There are two choices before us: collaboration or resistance.

As neighbors are brutally attacked and separated from their families because of this administration, I choose resistance. Free DC.

Happy #LaborDay ✊🏾

Workers built DC. As the Ward 1 Councilmember, I’ll always fight for workers against billionaires and bad bosses, from ensuring DC is a model employer to making sure public dollars only go to good employers to bringing oversight to DC's existing laws.

really cannot describe the energy in the room last night as Aparna was giving her speech to 200+ people. chatted with some attendees who have literally never volunteered for or donated to a candidate before! this campaign has tapped into something—people want and are ready to fight for so much more

This was the 2nd time I've been to an electric DC campaign launch in August. Usually this time of the year is sleepy here in DC but certainly not last night nor the prior launch in August 2019.
Aparna told her (very powerful) story and I hope you all have the occasion to hear it directly from her.

People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District.

It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here.

That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1.

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social‬ who is giving New Yorkers and all of us hope tonight. His campaign was about lowering the cost of living for working class New Yorkers and I am not surprised that it resonated so deeply with voters! 🙌🏾❤️🌹
Cuomo congratulates Mamdani: "Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won."

Hasn't fully conceded, will wait for RCV count and weigh an independent run, but beginning to admit that Mamdani will be the nominee.
