I’ve been the leader that shows up for our working people. If I say I’m going to do something, I get it done. My first year in elected office, I found the funding to support a librarian in every DC public school.
When we stand shoulder to shoulder and fight together for fair wages, safe job sites, and dignity for working people, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. We’re just getting started.
I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, my 9th union endorsement.
Union carpenters shape this city every single day, laying the foundations, framing the walls, and building the spaces where our communities come alive. And now they’re helping build the future we deserve.
Have a great week, and let’s keep going!
Special thanks to the DJs 💜
I’m grateful to everyone who opened their homes, clubs, and community spaces to host me. Campaigns are built in living rooms, backyards, at birthday parties, and in the places where neighbors gather and look out for one another.
This past weekend, we partied at Transmission, participated in the DC Women In Politics forum, spent time with family in community, celebrated International Women’s Day at Zooz, and held several meet & greets! We talked, laughed, listened, and danced!
❤️ @janeese4dc.bsky.social focus on kids & youth: need for universal child care & places and spaces for youth, after school programs, and addressing the dearth of school nurses, social workers, psychologists, & to do this leverage local universities, increase pay for caregiving jobs, etc.
It's a good day to support @janeese4dc.bsky.social ! 💜 Happy International Women's Day!
Women for Janeese.
Erin and Christy.
A full room listens to Janeese speak with moral clarity and courage.
No better way to spend International Women’s Day than in support of @janeese4dc.bsky.social. From curbing maternal mortality to supporting paid family leave and universal childcare to a living wage and affordable and safe, stable, and secure housing, Janeese honors the labor of women and caretakers.

I wouldn’t be standing here today if not for two incredible women: my mother and my grandmother.
I carry their lessons with me. To lift as we climb. To make a way out of no way.
Happy International Women's Day!
They remind us that our strength multiplies when we move together. As we continue to make space where there is none and believe in possibilities before the world catches up, may we walk with the same grace. May we lead with the same courage. And may we always remember to lift as we climb.
They carried out quiet acts of sisterhood and demonstrated grace in classrooms, kitchens, courtrooms, and community meetings. They showed us that excellence and compassion can live in the same breath.
Women’s history is an opportunity to celebrate the women who laid the foundation for where we are today. These women, and so many others, carried a vision and led with conviction even when the path was uncertain.
This moment is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create real citywide change, and together we can make it happen.
It’s stable housing, good jobs, strong neighborhoods, and resources that meet people where they are.
I’m running for mayor to put people first across all 8 wards and to fight for the future DC deserves.
DC residents are feeling the squeeze, from rising housing costs to the childcare crisis, and safety remains a priority for every community. Safety isn’t just the absence of violence, it’s the presence of care.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Shanklin Hall tonight for this conversation with Ward 1. It was powerful to be in a room with neighbors who care deeply about the future of our city. Your energy, questions, and commitment to DC are what make moments like this so meaningful.
Everything that I do including how I lead, all circles back to being a social engineer. I’m grateful to Howard Law for the hustle they instilled in me and the knowledge they imparted on me ❤️💙.

I choose every day to be a social engineer, to use what I learned at Howard Law to make policies that put people first.
I’ve been proud to do that every day as a council member and I’m proud to continue doing it as your future mayor.
At Howard Law, Dean Charles Hamilton Houston would always say “A lawyer is either a social engineer or a parasite to society” and that stuck with me.
Are y’all ready? We have a fun lineup of ways to get involved in the campaign this weekend. You can register through the link in our bio for any of them.
Requiring the release of police body-camera footage and documentation of federal officers' use of force is absolutely vital for us to protect our neighbors. This is a first and necessary step. We must also end MPD cooperation with ICE.
Today I voted to pass The Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Act, a bill requiring more transparency and accountability as Trump’s federal forces occupy DC.
She's a fighter for justice and democracy. Honored to have her in this fight with us.
From organizing sit-ins with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to supporting mass voter registration with the Freedom Summer project to helping create the underground abortion service Jane Collective, Booth teaches us that organizing can change the world.
Heather Booth is an inspiration to us all.
@janeese4dc.bsky.social says she will be proactive about safety, not just react to deaths. Doesn’t want a slogan like Vision Zero, wants to put children first.
@kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social’s empty seat says nothing
@garygoodweather.bsky.social says action requires a comprehensive plan.
@janeese4dc.bsky.social is the slam dunk choice for DC mayor if you care about safe streets and world class transportation
