Congratulations to DC Council-member @robertwhite-dc.bsky.social who ran a strong campaign and secured a decisive victory. I have called him, wished him great success, and offered my assistance in any way he needs going forward.

I voted 🗳️

We’re with Kinney! Are you?

Polls are open. It all comes down to this. GO VOTE!

Looking forward to seeing the results come in tomorrow! Be sure to RSVP if you’d like to join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/edaykz

Tomorrow is the DC Primary! Thank you to all the incredible volunteers and team members who have been with me for this amazing and fun journey. Now let’s go vote and win this thing!

Whether it’s yard signs or results for DC, I always deliver!

2 Days until the DC Primary! My kids assure me that is a good thing to be told that I am “mogging” my opponents 😅

Thank you to @ward5familybiking.bsky.social for having me at their June ride. If you walk, bike, or drive to the polls, be sure to rank me number one for DC Delegate by June 16!

“ICE is the beginning of a personal para-military force by this President. And if we let him get away with that, he’s coming for every one of us...”

In 30 seconds, here's why you should vote for me for DC Delegate.

3 Days until the DC Primary! I am committed to the young families of DC. If we can’t keep the young people who grew up here and want to stay or have just moved here in this city, we will not thrive as the District of Columbia!

After polls close and we knock our last doors and make our final calls to voters, please join Kinney, campaign staff, volunteers, supporters and donors to watch election returns at Barcelona Wine Bar in Cathedral Heights. It all comes down to Election Day!

DC has been faithfully served for over 3 decades by Delegate Norton, and I want to build on her legacy. My name is listed first on the ballot. I’d be honored to have your 1st choice ranking.

4 Days until the DC Primary! It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or 95 degrees outside, my team and I are going to be out working to win this election to serve the people of DC.

“If there’s anyone who can fill Eleanor’s shoes, it’s you” - @jaimeharrison.bsky.social

As one of the top 3 candidates for DC Delegate, I sat down with Robert Devaney, Francis Rienzo and Bill Starrels of The Georgetowner to discuss how I will defend DC's autonomy while rebuilding and redefining its economy. georgetowner.com/articles/202...

Thank you so much to the @stonewalldems51.bsky.social for having me at their Rank My Drag event last night. I had a great time discussing my vision for the Delegate role and DC's future.

Yesterday, the President threatened to strip DC of Home Rule if he does not like the election outcome in our local elections. We stand together to say clearly: that is an attack on democracy.

Have you seen the latest BS from the President? DC needs a proven national fighter to stand up to Trump as he tries to attack DC for daring to even consider voting for someone he doesn't like. By June 16, vote for me, Kinney Zalesne, for DC Delegate!

Ranked choice voting is so easy even a dog can do it! Thank you to Jasper for staring in this video and for being my cutest supporter 🐾❤️

DC is the City of Service, because here in DC we feel an obligation to our neighbors, even if we’re suffering, we can help someone who’s got it worse. Thank you so much to Reverend Mike for such an emotional conversation on the issues facing our city.

5 Days until the DC Primary! Rain or shine, I will always show up for DC. Let’s effing go!

What Trump has done to DC's economy is not only tragic, it was deliberate. He has tried to dismantle the Black middle class. We need to rebuild our economy in a way that is not dependent on the federal government.

6 Days until the DC Primary! Over 90% of DC's voters haven't cast a ballot yet, so everything is still up for grabs in this last week. Go vote and rank me number 1 for DC Delegate by June 16!

Do NOT rank Robert White on D.C. primary ballot for Delegate. He has more ambition than achievements, more arrogance than courage. He is a pretender. Rank @kinney4dc.bsky.social: national credentials for national role. Support Trent Holbrook 2nd and write-in Black single father Kelly Mikel Williams.

7 Days until the DC Primary! As DC’s Delegate to Congress, I will work to uphold and futher advance the legacy of Eleanor Holmes Norton including the fights for civil rights and DC Statehood.

Do any of these sound like you? You might enjoy canvassing! Sign up for a shift today! www.mobilize.us/kinneyfordc/

8 Days Until the DC Primary! When I started this campaign, I didn’t expect to be able to say I was “endorsed by a former President,” but here we are. Early voting has started so when you vote, please rank me number 1 for DC Delegate!

Can’t wait until June 16 to vote for me in person? Early voting has begun! Go now to any early voting center and rank me, Kinney Zalesne, number 1 for DC Delegate. earlyvoting.dcboe.org

9 Days Until the DC Primary! Like many people in our city I fear for DC, but I also have hope—and that’s why I’m running to represent our city in Congress. Tomorrow, June 8, is the start of early in-person voting, and my name is listed first on the ballot! Please rank me number one!

Looking forward to my live podcast interview with Pastor Michael Campbell of Rising Voices DC Tuesday, June 9th at 12:30pm ET. It'll also be rebroadcast the next night on Wednesday, June 10th at 6pm ET.

Endorsed by a dead President!

I sat down with Michael Schaffer on City Cast DC to discuss a range of issues from how I will stand up for DC Autonomy, to the undue scrutiny DC faces, to DOGE, to how we win statehood, and more. Thank you so much to City Cast DC for having me on their podcast. (1/5)

D.C. voters make big impact with June primary ballot by ranking newcomer candidates like @kinney4dc.bsky.social 1st. Our new rank system means supporting a fresh perspective doesn't cost u your vote -- it goes to frontrunner you ranked 2nd (or 3rd) if the final count is frontrunner vs. frontrunner.

Thank you to Washington Jewish Week for endorsing me in the DC Delegate's race. I have and always will stand with DC's Jewish community and against rising antisemitism.

As we salute the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom for all, we also remember that some of these soldiers, like those from DC, did so for a country which still denies them the full rights of every other citizen.

10 Days Until the DC Primary! We are well ahead of our goal in the last days of the election, averaging over 1,400 doors each day across the city. If you want to sign up to join, you can do so in the link in bio!

Costs are too damn high. Whether it’s gas or groceries, DC residents can’t afford basics like we used to. When I’m in Congress I’ll fight to make DC an economic engine again that makes it easier for us to get good-paying jobs that make living in our nation’s capital affordable again.

While people are struggling to afford to live, the President is wasting the American people's money on vanity projects. As I laid out during my interview with @briantylercohen.bsky.social, this is a shameful sin against every American.

11 Days Until the DC Primary! Yesterday we had 16 people across 3 Wards knock over 1200 doors for our campaign for DC’s Delegate to Congress. As my Field Director @salimadofo.bsky.social likes to say: “Those that go door to door, win the war”.

I was pleased to join Jubilee Housing Board Chair Caroline Kenney President & CEO Jim Knight, Vice President of External Affairs @tmholcomb.bsky.social along with Rebecca Ballard at Jubilee Housing’s Annual Justice Housing® Breakfast this morning. They do great work, and I’m proud to support it!

12 Days Until the DC Primary! I am proud to have both the experience and the energy / stamina to do this job and bring hope to our city.

I was pleased to join the DC Connection & Social Action Committee and members of Xi Omega, the first graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Rho Mu Omega, and Alpha Beta Upsilon Omega for their DC Delegate Candidate Forum and Fair. Thanks for having me!

The DC Councilmembers in this race chair the Judiciary and Housing committees. We've got crime and housing crises. Elect the candidate with the national experience to win our fights!

13 Days Until the DC Primary! While canvassing yesterday, I met a voter who had filled out his ballot without voting for me. He said when he heard me at the @wamu.org forum, he'd gone home to tear up his mail-in ballot so he could go vote in-person to rank me first for DC Delegate on June 16.

14 Days Until the DC Primary! Yesterday I met a woman who said one of our leaders' priorities should be creating opportunities for kids to be productive after school to keep kids out of trouble.

Statehood/voting rights for the people of DC is, at its core a CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE! Kinney Zalesne @kinney4dc.bsky.social is the BEST candidate in the DC delegate race to build a coalition in Congress to GET THIS DONE! Importantly, @ericholder.bsky.social has endorsed @KinneyForCongress

If you are a D.C. voter and have not cast your primary ballot, DO NOT RANK ROBERT WHITE. He is a phony. Watch the video for my rationale. Next gen of Black leadership, my ass. I strongly recommend @kinney4dc.bsky.social for No 1 choice. Kelly Mikel Williams strong write in for Black representation.

Happy Pride Month! As we celebrate the most vibrant LGBT+ community in the world here in DC, I’ll always stand against the discrimination and hatred too many are experiencing. Thank you Crush Dance Bar, KC B. Yoncé and everyone for an amazing night!
