Wonderful news. Congrats @waba.org

It was a joy to join @peterodrigue.bsky.social and @dcyimbys.bsky.social for an urbanist walking tour of Lanier Heights!

Soy orgullosamente hijo de una familia de migrantes brasileños. Sé lo que está en juego para nuestras comunidades de migrantes, y me postulo para hacer algo al respecto.

Don’t miss it! Join me at 5 PM TODAY for the Capitol Stonewall Democrats’ virtual Ward 1 candidate forum to hear exactly how I’m fighting for DC’s LGBTQ+ community 🌈 RSVP: events.hovercast.com/e/stonewall-...

Today’s Ward 1 Candidate Endorsement Meeting is a VERY important opportunity to boost my campaign for DC Council. The Ward 1 Democratic Party is meeting today, April 11, at 2:00pm to determine which candidate they will endorse in the Ward 1 Council race.

If you're pro-streatery, pro-housing, pro-bike, and pro-transit, you'll love my platform! And today is a great day to support the campaign. Max contribution allowed is only $50, and DC matches *five-to-one* what I raise from DC residents. Let's go 🚀 secure.actblue.com/donate/migue...

I’m pro-bike because I live it. I sold my car years ago and have never been happier. We’re a bike-friendly city but we still have a long way to go 🚴🏽 Let’s deliver safe streets and efficient transit worthy of the nation’s capital. Ⓜ️#️⃣1️⃣

Thank you to @lorenzohall1.bsky.social for inviting me to the @wusa9.com.web.brid.gy studios to discuss some of the pressing issues facing not just Ward 1 voters, but all Washingtonians. We covered affordability, housing, federal overreach, youth support & engagement, and much more!

Thank you, Travis!

Take a quick survey by April 30 to tell the DC Office of Planning that the draft FLUM we have seen should be sent back to the drawing board: survey123.arcgis.com/share/61f668...

The message is loud and clear: let DC grow!

DC has a once-in-a-generation chance to fix its housing crisis through the 2050 Comp Plan rewrite. OP's current proposal squanders it. I built a tool so you can see exactly where they're falling short: dc2050.org 1/4

¡Te invito a participar en este foro para los candidatos del Distrito 1 al Concejo Municipal, organizado por el Caucus Latino de DC!

Very grateful for these glowing words from the @dcbikewalkbuspac.bsky.social - I’m proud of my record delivering on bike and infrastructure and road safety improvements!

I have long called for more transfers of jurisdiction like this one, especially for tiny parcels (triangles etc.) that NPS is not able to maintain. DC knows how to do public engagement and how to design for humans (and pets!) in a busy urban environment.

Really strong work by @waba.org — thank you guys!

Housing is a human right, but we cannot guarantee access to housing that does not exist. Proud to join @dcyimbys.bsky.social to tell the Office of Planning to make it easier, faster, and cheaper to build all types of housing. Let DC grow. Their draft FLUM does not meet the moment. 🧵

I can’t wait to share my vision for a more affordable, vibrant, and safe city with you all tomorrow! Whether it’s at a forum or on your front step, I promise to always show up for Ward 1 residents. See you out there! Register for the forum here: www.mobilize.us/wardonedems/...

👎🏼 The District's planning agency is only considering this tiny handful of parcels in Ward 1 for increased density in the next Comprehensive Plan. This draft map is, in a word, unambitious. The density of Ward 1 is one of its greatest assets and we deserve more of it.

Advocating for public spaces got me into DC politics. I will always champion deliberate & *human-centric* design of our parks, streets, neighborhoods. The feds and the District need to work cooperatively & long-term to manage and maintain Malcolm X as a true urban park for DC.

"'I thought I’d be lost,' Arnitta Coley, 79, said after filling out a mock ballot. 'When I started to understand that it would give me more opportunities to elect someone that I prefer, even a candidate who may not have been my first choice, I thought that helped.'"

Yesterday I stopped by the opening of this new deeply-affordable development by @jubileehousing.bsky.social on Ontario Road — complete with solar energy and an urban farm to offset the rising cost of groceries for residents. We need to make it easier and cheaper to deliver this type of project.

Reminder, this Thursday #MBTpubroll starts at Grand Duchess at 5:30pm to coincide with a meet & greet for Ward 1 candidate @miguelward1.bsky.social who has a super pro-bike platform! Then we'll bike across the park to Judy's on 14th. Come one, come all, come pub roll 🚲🍻

Proud of this! Let’s keep it rolling into spring! 📈

Thank you to ANC 1D and Mount Pleasant Village for hosting a wonderful candidate forum! If you liked my priorities — from building all types of housing to creating a seamless network of bike lanes — please help me take my message to the people.

Correct. Council should have passed these bills back in August. They keep asking MPD for information they never mandated MPD to collect.

As chairman of ANC 1B, I brought in the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety to answer tough questions about MPD and ICE. Republicans in Congress will *never* do proper oversight, so it’s on us. The Council should pass these bills & as a CM I’ll work to ensure they’re implemented

What a beautiful weekend for canvassing! I want to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing volunteers who dedicated their weekend to speaking to voters with us.

Ward 1 knows what’s up. Make the residential composting pilot a permanent program. Increase the number of smart bins. Replace our open-air rat buffets, I mean litter bins. Install more litter and recycling bins. It’s not rocket science; it’s good municipal management.

This back-and-forth between Council & MPD about ICE cooperation stretched over months — and yielded unsatisfying results at every turn. Council needs to conduct more & ongoing oversight, not only at budget time. MPD should be able to explain readily how its taxpayer-funded resources are being used.

Really user-friendly policy change from @bikeshare.bsky.social today! You can now park an e-bike adjacent to a full station (≤3 open docks) without paying the $2 fee. Very fair in a system that still has much more demand than supply!

Speaking of local retail — El Progreso in Mt Pleasant is the only place I can find polvilho azedo, the key ingredient to pão de queijo. I love that store with my whole heart. I'm so heartened to see them featured here and thriving. Shop local, y'all georgetownvoice.com/2026/02/22/i...

Streets on U! This is good news: a locally-owned grocery business can serve as a strong anchor on the U St. corridor. We need more neighborhood staples like grocery stores, mid-range everyday restaurants, and local retail to diversify & keep vibrant our local economy.

Ward 1, be my valentine! Sign up at the link below to volunteer and make our dreams come true 🌈 docs.google.com/forms/d/1zso...

Happy to see some wins for DC in a hopeless time on the Hill — and especially $250k for the installation of solar-powered bike docks for @bikeshare.bsky.social 🥳 Thank you @eleanornorton.bsky.social!

This Black History Month, we celebrate the trailblazers and innovators who have shaped public transportation and advanced civil rights around the country and right here in DC, such as WMATA’s Carmen E. Turner and Rosa Parks—whose birthday is honored today on Transit Equity Day.

“As your councilmember, my focus is going to be on delivering the bus infrastructure upgrades that are stuck in the pipeline, waiting for funding. That's a problem the council can actually address….I’ll prioritize reliability and frequency.”

“We can’t make housing affordable if it doesn’t exist.” Last night at the DC for Democracy candidate forum, I talked about how we can realistically get a handle on housing costs, drawing on my work as an ANC commissioner fighting for more, and more affordable, housing.

It was such a pleasure to join DC for Democracy at their candidate forum tonight, unpacking the issues that Ward 1 truly cares about! I got to highlight some of my campaign priorities - making DC more affordable, building community safety, and protecting our vibrant communities.

Mark your calendars! This Thursday at 8pm, I will be participating in DC for Democracy’s Candidate Forum. RSVP at bit.ly/DC4DJan15Forum to join us!

It’s official: ranked choice voting is here to stay. As the proud lead organizer for the I-83 campaign last year, I’m grateful to everyone that helped block this misguided delay tactic. Now, let’s get back to the important work of educating voters and ensuring everyone’s voices are heard!

Today, I joined with my fellow Ward 1 candidates to call on the @councilofdc.bsky.social to reject the latest attempt to cancel ranked-choice voting for the 2026 elections.

ATTENTION, BIKE LOVERS AND PARK ENTHUSIASTS Malcolm X Park finally has its own dedicated bikeshare station! After a year of advocacy as an ANC Commissioner, I was thrilled to watch with neighbors as the hardworking folks at @bikeshare.bsky.social installed a new station at 15th and Chapin.

I’m heartbroken that this Thanksgiving has been tinged with tragedy for our DC community and especially for the family of Spec. Sarah Beckstrom. We grieve with them tonight. This should not have been the end of her journey of public service.

Violence has no place in our city. Today’s attack downtown was shocking and chilling. My thoughts are with the Guardsmen and their families. They are going through horror on the eve of a holiday, when they should be celebrating gratitude. Our DC community stands with them.

As the former lead organizer for the I-83 campaign, which brought ranked choice voting to DC, I believe the recent effort by some members of the DC Council to delay RCV is wrong and unnecessary.

Voters were clear that this was what they wanted. It’s a good program that expands democracy and the Board of Elections has told us they are ready to implement. It’s time to move forward.

¡Lo logramos! Les agradezco porque el pasado fin de semana calificamos para el programa de financiamiento proporcional al recibir donaciones de 150 residentes del Distrito.
