I had an amazing visit with Ward 7 seniors at Victory Square this week. The energy, the wisdom, the love for this city. Thank you for having me. I'll be back! #FightForAllDC #FightAndDeliver #Ward7 #DCMayor2026

What a great time connecting with folks at UDC's Legacy Gala, celebrating 175 years of legacy and learning. UDC opened the floodgates of opportunity for me and allowed me to take my next step in higher education, attending and graduating from Howard University. I’m forever grateful.

This week, I was at Key Elementary collecting petition signatures as part of my campaign for Mayor. As a 4th-generation Washingtonian w/ a proven legislative record, I'm running to deliver Affordability, Opportunity, and Accountability for every ward in the District. #FightForAllDC #FightAndDeliver

Good afternoon, Petworth! #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

Black history is DC history. Proud to have worked with Lisa Fager and so many others to establish a grant program to protect and preserve DC’s historic Black cemeteries like Mount Zion and Female Union Band. buff.ly/HJ1AaTj #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

Good morning, Tenleytown! #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

My time at @howard.edu laid the groundwork for a career in public service, where I served as President of the Political Science Society + VP of the political science honors society. Thank you to my alma mater newspaper, The Hilltop, for the profile. buff.ly/mII4aN4 #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

Taking our “Fight and Deliver” Message to the air waves on @WUSA9! Great conversation with @AlonzoHall on “DC Beat,” discussing the issues that matter most to our residents and our City. #FightAndDeliver #FightForALLDC

Grateful to @EASCarpenters for the tour of one of their state-of-the-art training centers in MD. Currently, the union facilitates a pre-apprenticeship program at DC’s Convention Center. As Mayor, I’ll fight to expand access to this kind of workforce training right here in DC.

Enjoyed spending the first half of Super Bowl Sunday in Ward 3. Great conversations, good energy, and a lot of love for this city. #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

WHAT. A. NIGHT. 🏀🔥 Uptown vs. Southside delivered—Roosevelt pulled it out by 2 points in DOUBLE OVERTIME over KIPP Legacy. Two great programs, outstanding coaching, and a gym full of energy. #DCSportsCapital #UptownVsSouthside #FightAndDeliver #FightForAllDC

Launching #TeamMcDuffie “Fight and Deliver” Snow Removal Strike Forces! Dozens out to meet residents and business owners in ALL 8 Wards and help them dig out from the severe storm. Much more to do now and in the future. We will be there every step of the way. #FightAndDeliver

This is what a people-powered movement looks like. Huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who spent this week collecting signatures. We couldn’t do this without you!

Heads up, Washingtonians! The Summer Jobs Program and the Career Ready Early Scholars Program are now accepting applications. As an alum of the Summer Jobs Program, I know firsthand how crucial these opportunities are for young people to gain skills and a real pathway to success. Apply now!

#RestaurantWeek, which has officially been extended to 2/1, is the perfect time to make eating local a priority. Loved stopping by The Grill at The Wharf—amazing food and a great example of the small businesses that make DC so special. #DCEats #SupportLocalDC

Fighting and Delivering for our snowed-in D.C. Seniors! As a proud Mailman for years in our city, I learned to deliver every day for our neighbors—no matter the weather. It’s who we are at our best. #FightAndDeliver #FightForALLDC

“Kenyan McDuffie, a longtime member of the D.C. Council, officially launched his campaign for mayor of the District of Columbia on Jan. 14, pledging to focus on equitable economic growth, expanded affordable housing & stronger community trust in policing.”

Thank you to the DPW and DGS employees out there removing snow, and to the Metro workers keeping our buses running! Your work is essential to our city.

@eleanornorton.bsky.social is a giant in DC’s history—a tireless champion for our city’s dignity, democracy, and statehood. I’m grateful for her decades of service, mentorship, and relentless fight for DC residents. Her legacy will endure. #DCStatehood

Thank you so much to every single volunteer who picked up petitions yesterday. One step closer to fighting and delivering for ALL DC.

They killed this man in cold blood. They literally pulled him into a physical encounter that he had not initiated. His back was turned, and he appeared to be attempting to protect and provide aid to the persons who had been pepper sprayed. ICE needs to go now.

Thanks to DC’s Fair Elections Program, we have raised over $1 MILLION in just 7 days! Thank you to every single supporter who chipped in and made this possible. Now let’s go fight and deliver for ALL DC!

Great to meet Bub Carrington and see the Wizards play! Building a stronger DC means supporting our youth and the institutions that bring our communities together.

Congratulations to Doni Crawford on her appointment to the D.C. Council! Doni is a dedicated public servant who has spent her career fighting for D.C. residents.

What a turnout at the MLK Jr. Day annual parade! Thank you all for coming out to support our campaign!

2016: The year I passed the Neighborhood Engagement Achieves Results Act (NEAR) Act on the DC Council. Nearly a decade later, that purpose hasn’t changed. Now we are going to fight and deliver as Mayor of 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.

The new Commanders stadium renderings show what smart, forward-looking leadership can deliver for DC. Proud to have played a part in bringing our team back home. HTTC!

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.

MLK Jr. marched for justice. So will we. Come walk with me in the Martin Luther King Jr. parade this Monday!

DC is not up for grabs. I will ALWAYS protect Home Rule and protect our city.

Today, as USPS honors Muhammad Ali, I’m reminded what it takes to be a champion: courage, work, and heart. I carried your mail; now I’m ready to carry your voice—to fight and deliver for this community.

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.

HUGE NEWS: We just hit 1,000 DC donors and counting—and that means we officially qualify for the Fair Elections Program. Thank you for making this possible. Let’s go fight and deliver for all DC.

The rumors were true: Former D.C. councilmember @kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social is officially running for mayor. The race is expected to be hotly contested in a local moment of profound change and uncertainty. More from @maustermuhle.bsky.social — including a conversation with with candidate:

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.

WE MADE HISTORY! Thanks to the grassroots support across all 8 wards of DC, we raised a groundbreaking $181,364 in the first day after announcing our campaign. We are so grateful for your support. Let’s go 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.

Today, I announced my candidacy for mayor of Washington, DC and it has been nothing short of electric! This campaign is about building a fairer, safer, more affordable DC—and it’s powered by people who believe our city deserves better. Now, let’s go fight and deliver for all DC.

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.

My name is Kenyan McDuffie. I’m a lifelong Washingtonian, a former mailman, and most importantly—a husband and father. I’m running to be the next mayor to fight and deliver for all DC.
