Allow me to reintroduce myself: I’m a pro-democracy organizer, the Chairman of ANC 1B, and the proud son of an immigrant family. I'm also the most pro-housing candidate in this race.

#1 rank in their Ward 1 endorsement! I strongly believe housing is a human right, though we can’t guarantee access to housing that does not exist.

voters, this race is wide open so consider voting at this endorsement meeting Saturday for the biggest pro-biking champion in our council race Miguel Trindade Deramo. Aparna Raj is also really great, and Rashida Brown worth a look. This is a good opportunity to impact the election.

As someone in the profession, it’s all too obvious when elected officials talk the talk just to appease the active transportation community.
@miguelward1.bsky.social
is NOT that—his record of success, community & DC gov relationships, & lived experience makes him uniquely qualified in this race.

👎🏼 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.

Do you live in single-member district 6E04 in Ward 6 (you can double check using this tool

)? If so, the Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner seat has been vacant for a while and you can run for it. You can get more info about running for ANC by emailing

Considering housing density in NYC, do you consider these multifamily buildings as examples of missing middle /gentle density housing in NYC? (I believe both are in Brooklyn).

The NYC zoning changes are going to eliminate parking minimum requirements in much of the city, make it feasible to build ADUs in most of the city, & expand allowed densities near transit. This is all expected to add up to 80,000 more housing units.
