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.

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.

We did it! Thanks to you, this weekend we qualified for DC’s Fair Elections Program by earning contributions from 150 DC residents. Fair Elections is a public financing initiative that keeps big money out of our elections and we are so excited to be a part of it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last 24 hours. Because of you, we’re getting close to qualifying for DC Fair Elections! If you haven't contributed yet - can you chip in up to $50 to help us reach our goal? secure.actblue.com/donate/migue...

Meet Miguel: a pro-democracy organizer, Malcolm X Park advocate, and the chairman of ANC 1B. He’s running to be Ward 1’s Councilmember because this community deserves a leader who will roll up their sleeves and turn progressive policy into action.
