Husband. Girl dad. Former DC Councilmember. Running to be the next Mayor of Washington, DC.
On the DC Council, I passed the NEAR Act to stop violence before it starts and make DC safer through prevention, not reaction. That’s leadership that delivers.

Housing should not be a luxury. As the Mayor of DC, I will be laser focused on protecting tenants, increasing truly affordable housing, and making sure longtime DC residents aren’t pushed out of their own city.

On the DC Council, I helped deliver real results—libraries, schools, parks, and economic development—in all eight wards. Making our communities safer also means making them a better place to live.

I’ve spent my career standing up to racial profiling and excessive force. I know how to fight for a just city and how to build bridges to get things done. People want solutions, not noise. That’s what I’m going to fight and deliver for all DC.

I’m running for mayor of Washington, DC. This is an open seat. A new chapter. On my watch, I will remind everyone exactly whose home this is: the people of DC. And it sure as hell isn’t ICE’s.

The trust in our federal law enforcement has been completely eroded due to the encroachment of ICE and HSI. We need to bring that trust back, and that’s what I’ll do as mayor.

I wrote DC's body-worn camera law. I passed juvenile justice reform. I created baby bonds for kids born into poverty. I secured funding for deeply affordable housing. And I’m going to keep fighting and delivering for all DC.

I live in the same home my grandparents bought in 1952—back when racially restrictive covenants were still the law. I carry that history with me and it fuels my commitment to fight for a more just and inclusive DC.

I've sold ice cream at the National Zoo and delivered mail for the U.S. Postal Service. I know firsthand that every job deserves dignity and a living wage.

I’m proud that on the DC Council I helped end life without parole for youth, ban solitary confinement, expand police accountability, and center racial equity in government decisions. Real reform is possible when we lead with values.

A strong DC economy has to work for everyone—not just those at the top. That means good local jobs, fair wages, and making it easier for small businesses and entrepreneurs to succeed right here at home.

My name is Kenyan McDuffie. I’m a proud DC native and civil rights lawyer who’s spent my career fighting for justice, safety, and opportunity. As of last week, I submitted my resignation from the DC Council. Thank you, DC—it’s been an honor to serve you.
