I am incredibly proud of the campaign we ran. We heard rumors of a poll in May that put us at 5 percent and tonight we came in at 4 times that. I believe this is a testament to the work that our campaign put in. – at Washington, DC
Some words wrapping up our campaign, but most importantly — Thank you.
If you'd like to stay in touch, you can follow me on my personal account @sabelharris or reach out via email at sabel(at)sabelfordc(dot)com.
I am beyond grateful to everyone who has taken some of their time, their money, and their voice and offered it to me. I hope that I have used it with honor. – at Washington, DC
Just this Sunday there was a 15 year child shot and killed. This is not the Ward 1 that I know and love. I would like to offer my congratulations to Councilmember @BrianneKN. I hope that we can all work together to make Ward 1 a safe, just, and affordable place for us all. – at Washington, DC
Primary Day and we’ve been out here since the start. I’m at Marie Reed now and have had so many wonderful conversations. #SabelForWard1 – at Washington, DC

happy election day dc!! i’m about to cast my vote for @sabelharris for ward 1 and i’m so excited!!
Over 100 miles walked (just this month!), thousands of doors knocked, a few hundred dog scratches and treats given, and too many mosquito bites later…We’re leaving it all out on the field.
Tomorrow is the day and I hope we can count on your support. #SabelForWard1 – at Washington, DC
We were wrapping up our efforts for the day, saw alerts & text messages for what happened on 14th & U St NW. I’m out on the scene now, but I’m reminded:
1. More MPD wouldn’t have prevented this
2. More MPD wouldn’t have prevented this.
3. More MPD wouldn’t have prevented this – at Washington, DC

I met @BeleafMel a few years ago and knew immediately he need to speak his truth. There are so many timely, important lessons from his @TEDTalks and I hope you give it a watch on this #FathersDay2022.

Voted at Barry Farms today. What should have taken 2 minutes took 20 because my ward 1 ballot was not loading. I could NOT submit an electronic ballot without voting for my girl @sabelward1. Paper ballot it is. #nocopsoncouncil – at Washington, DC
When my family came to the US it took them 8 years to become citizens. In that time their voices were effectively muted — no right to vote and no say in local matters. Glad this is getting a hearing and I signed up to testify. – at Washington, DC

"It’s also the case…that many overdoses go unreported as they’re reversed by friends or acquaintances without involving D.C. FEMS.
‘Overdoses are really, really common and if they don’t involve EMS then we obviously don’t have the same tracking system for that.’"
D.C. reported a suspected spike in opioid overdoses last week, after 29 people throughout the city overdosed in a span of 48 hours. bit.ly/3aSIQT3
Apparently dictating a woman’s choice of clothing passes as legitimate political critique these days!
Sorry, you’ll have to do better than that to intimidate me. – at Washington, DC

"Heard from my neighbor that you came and knocked on our building door...Thanks for being the first candidate I've ever known coming to visit our apartment building."
7 days. We're leaving it all out on the field. #SabelForWard1
The truly unfortunate part is that this isn't shocking. When will we learn that MPD does not keep us safe?
(ICYMI, I'm the only candidate in the Ward 1 race who doesn't support more funding for MPD and that arbitrary, harmful 4,000 officer count).
Report reveals 1,000+ complaints of DC police's uses of force in 2021 @wusa9 wusa9.com/article/news/local…
Comment we got to today — "Spoken to every candidate running for this position & I’ve decided Sabel is the best choice...her plans aligned with what I feel Ward 1 needs.
Not a decision I took lightly, but I feel very good about where I landed." 🙌🏼💜 #DCision22 #SabelForWard1
Thank you Ward 1 Dems and @ustreetdc for hosting a great candidate forum last night in the beautiful @tempgardendc.
Many questions we didn’t get to, but the ones we did kicked off much needed discussions around policy & stances. Watch the full forum here facebook.com/UstreetDC/video… – at Washington, DC
