This is exactly the kind of accountability tenants have been asking for—combating slumlords who are making millions off neglect and fraud while worsening DC's housing crisis.
Grateful to OAG for using every tool available to hold these landlords accountable and protect DC tenants.

We fought hard to deliver a locally funded Child Tax Credit for families struggling with the cost of living in DC.
Now, House Republicans have passed a measure that pulls that support and undermines our tax code. DC families deserve better, and we won't stop fighting to keep money in their pockets.
🏛️ Today, I'm chairing a hearing addressing one of the most fundamental quality-of-life issues facing our city: sufficient and equitable access to safe, clean, and functional @dcdpr.bsky.social recreational spaces. Watch today's hearing live: ➡️ janeeseward4.com/live
Big news: the Council just passed an emergency version of my Porchfest Permitting Act!
Porchfest is one of the best events of the year — not only for neighbors, but for local businesses, musicians, and main streets.
Today, we made it easier to neighbors to take part in these amazing events.
This is what governing for all of DC looks like. When we invest in our children and families, we're investing in our entire city's future.
Thank you to CMs Parker and Frumin for championing this amendment and to all my colleagues who voted to put money in the pockets of vulnerable DC families.
Leadership in this moment requires being on the ground and listening to the residents who are demanding we do more to protect communities.
Thank you to those who came out to testify and lift up the stories of those who could not be there for fear of being targeted.

🚨 As the federal government continues to withhold SNAP funding, I'm sharing resources for neighbors who are most in need of support.

Grateful to OAG for taking legal action to halt the Trump administration's suspension of SNAP assistance.
Thousands of DC residents depend on SNAP to sustain their families and keep food on the table.
Cutting off this critical support while other programs remain funded is cruel and unjust.

Ward 4 CM Janeese Lewis George @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social says DC residents deserve answers on MPD & ICE coordination.
"Our police must prioritize community needs – not the cruel agenda of a federal administration determined to tear immigrant families apart."

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back.
And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.
