I am delighted to announce that I was added to the CNBC Advisor Council, a group of industry leaders who share insights with the network and participate in programming.
The Council includes people I have followed for years so I was a bit taken aback but deeply honored.

Hey DC, do y'all think we should have the best affordable, universal childcare program in the nation? Janeese thinks we should!
Everyone thought universal pre K was impossible, and look at DC now. We made it happen. It’s time for DC to lead again so we can all afford to live in the city we love.

Guess who responded immediately????
Guess who is taking these concerns seriously?
Guess who acted as soon as they found out about this to make sure she was doing everything in her power to fix this? JLG.

I just responded to a scene in my DC neighborhood. This would usually have been 3-5 MPD (local cops), but tonight there were:
11 MPD
3 FBI
3 ATF
The federal presence in DC has led to enormous over-response at every traffic stop and previously routine arrest. It increases danger for every one of us.

The grassroots mobilization and breadth of support in @janeese4dc.bsky.social's first ten days is entirely without precedent in the history of DC politics. The prior record for contributions in the first 10 days was 591, a small fraction of JLG's 3,150 contributors.
The numbers are in: We raised $1.24 million in direct contributions and anticipated matching funds from more than 3,150 donors in only 10 days! 📈

Janeese is the real deal.
She is genuinely the most courageous person I know. She shows up for our communities in ways no one else does.
Janeese is also DC to the bone and loves all its people. She doesn’t tolerate corruption and is committed to making DC government actually work for all of us.

Great thread from Scott about how to understand Mayor Bowser's policy views and record.
Spoiler alert: it's similar to the right-wing Dems and moderate Republicans.

On the first episode of the new @cuneytdil.bsky.social & @trsdc.bsky.social podcast (which is great)- Sherwood describes @mayorbowser.dc.gov as a "moderate progressive". I think the record shows she's a conservative Dem/ liberal Republican at best (in mold of Manchin/ Bloomberg). Evidence ⬇️

This is unacceptable. As DC struggles to find money in our budget to keep our affordable housing commitments, DHCD gave back federal tax credits that could have created $35M in funding to house thousands of residents.
