Officer Terry Bennett tragically lost his life in the line of duty while doing what he was known to do—helping and caring for the people around him. My full statement on the passing of Metropolitan Police Department sworn officer Terry Bennett:

Removing ATE cameras would endanger people in our community. We call on our federal partners to stand with us in prioritizing safety and respecting the District’s ability to govern our own streets. My full statement:

We know the DOGE cuts will eliminate some 40,000 jobs for DC residents. We need to reposition the DC local economy to reflect the long-term impacts of Fed Gov reductions. Which means we need to convert empty office buildings into thriving residential communities.
