This work has never been about one person, it’s about all of us. Showing up. Speaking out. Staying consistent. That’s how change happens. This is the DC I’m fighting for!

This past Saturday: brought the flavor AND the solutions. You can judge the plate, but I’m focused on delivering results for DC. Good food. Real conversations. Better policy.

On March 14th, I protested the $524 million plan to build the ICE HQ in Southeast DC with dozens residents and activists. Follow our campaign to join the Fight against ICE. #StopICE #StopTrump #DCision26

Thank you DC for helping us qualify for the June 16th Democratic Primary. We turned in nearly 5,000 petitions, more than twice what was needed. We couldn’t have gotten this far without you and we’re excited to take our vision over the finish line! Join our movement at vote4oye.com #DCision26

Awesome remarks from @repoyedc.bsky.social at #StandUpforScience repping science, health, and DC’s own fight for democracy with @freedcproject.bsky.social “Fight for each other, fight together, … let’s fight for the America we all deserve and an America that has DC as its 51st state” #SUFS #FreeDC

Have you checked out our conversation w/ @repoyedc.bsky.social on the @ghpoliticspodcast.bsky.social yet? A #pharmacist, Dr. Owolewa serves as the #ShadowRepresentative to #Congress for the nation's #capital. He talks #publichealth & D.C. #statehood as a candidate for D.C. Council lnkd.in/gJmasNNy

Congress, not the Executive Branch alone has the authority to declare war. The recent U.S.strikes on Iran raise serious concerns about the lack of congressional authorization. D.C. residents are denied control over our own tax dollars,yet federal funds move quickly toward military escalation abroad.

Just received my first #DCision26 mailer, this one’s from @repoyedc.bsky.social:

Tuesday night at Ben’s Chili Bowl was a whole vibe. Thank you to everyone who showed up, brought a friend, grabbed a veggie dog, and made this midway celebration unforgettable. We’re building something special in this city, and we’re just getting started. Let’s keep going.

It's not everyday that you get to talk with one of America's most promising new political voices. Listen to my chat with @repoyedc.bsky.social as he shares his experience as the son of immigrants, a pharmacist at a time when research funding for new drugs been slashed & as candidate for DC Council

Force-feeding ducks to produce foie gras is cruelty. This practice is banned in dozens of states and countries. DC must be a cruelty-free District

Supporting local businesses is part of how we build strong communities. Stopped by Cane & Coconut, fresh, welcoming, and absolutely a must-visit when you’re in the area.

Proud to earn the endorsement of Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne K Nadeau💙 From pharmacist ➝ ANC ➝ DC’s U.S. Rep — this campaign is about showing up, fighting back, and delivering for the District. Let’s keep moving forward. ✊🏾 #TeamOye #DCPolitics #DCCouncil #StatehoodNow #DMVPolitics #FreeDC

I spoke out against federal overreach and the reported takeover of D.C.’s public golf courses, because decisions about our city must be made by the people who live here.

Dozens came out to hear @repoyedc.bsky.social speak yesterday— and then hit the doors to share that message across our community. The energy and dedication in the room was palpable. This is what people-powered campaigning looks like. Join us in voting Oye for DC Council At-Large this June.

On this Christmas Day, I’m grateful for the people and communities that make the District strong. May today bring peace, reflection, and renewed commitment to caring for one another during the holidays and beyond. Wishing everyone a joyful and meaningful Christmas. 🎄 #ChristmasDay #DCStrong

Education is public safety. Testifying before the DC State Board of Education on why access to college and STEM pathways strengthens communities and expands economic opportunity. #DCEducation #PublicSafety #STEMEducation #FutureOfWork #DCStudents

Investing in young people, especially through STEM education is one of the most effective ways to strengthen our communities. Time spent investing in kids today measurably improves their future prospects, leading to stronger workforce outcomes and safer communities tomorrow.

A joyful evening at the Mayor’s Holiday Party inside the historic Wilson Building. 🎄🌟 Always grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the season alongside community partners, leaders, and families who make D.C. stronger every day. #RepOye #DCHolidays #SeasonOfService #CommunityForward
