welp. my thanks to @erinfordc, @sabelharris, @ggwash, @dcyimbys, and everyone else who helped out or donated, and of course everyone who voted for me. I look forward to continuing to work with folks in 1B + across DC for safer streets, more housing, & more responsive agencies.

DC folks — don't forget your ANC + SBOE races and I-83!
Friendly nudge: In the midst of presidential election hoopla, don’t forget to read up on & vote for local positions. Mayors, city councilors, county supervisors are the key deciders on building housing, fixing roads & sidewalks, investing in neighborhood parks & schools.

TBH I'm kinda glad I'm not on Threads or Nextdoor or w/e this is to find out what nonsense Alan is making up about me, too. But I'm glad to support, and to have had support from, Chair Harris, and I encourage those who live in 1B08 to write her in to continue as Commissioner.

Less than a week after I reported the broken-up handrails on this temporary curb ramp required for the construction closure on the 1300 block of Euclid St NW, they've been replaced. Thanks to @DDOTDC PSI and @CrescentSocial for the quick work! #SidewalkPalooza

#WiderSidewalks4U Street have been a long time coming (over 10 years!), and I'm looking forward to working with Matthew & neighbors to finally make them happen.
Replying to @_MatthewThomas
Both the U Street Bus priority project and the U Street streetscape project are perfect opportunities to improve our sidewalks and I’ll advocate for this as Commissioner

Despite being one of our most important pedestrian corridors, U Street’s sidewalks are notoriously narrow and hard to navigate. Improving our sidewalks is key to making sure U Street is a vibrant, safe neighborhood

We made the right choice the first time. We made the right choice again today. Thank you @CMCharlesAllen for your leadership on protecting @DCCirculator employees.
Today, the Council had to override a veto to ensure laid-off Circulator employees are treated fairly as we wind down the bus service by the end of the year. Just a few years ago, we were all hailing these public servants as heroes for coming to work during a pandemic. 🧵 (1/5)

Things Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners could have a big role in shaping this term: - Comprehensive Plan - Strategic Bike Plan - (maybe) State Constitution Care about ANC elections.
