DC Transportation Equity Network’s #WeekWithoutDriving reminds us not everyone drives. Sidewalks, bike & bus lanes, & WMATA make DC one of the most connected cities in the US. Let’s keep investing in a safe, accessible network for people of all ages/abilities.🚶‍♀️🚲🚍 @ggwash.org

Tonight begins Yom Kippur, a day of atonement, renewal, and hope. As many of our shared values are under threat, may this time guide us toward a better path ahead. Wishing a meaningful reflection and fast to all observing.

Starting today, families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) will see an increase in child support passthrough payments from $150 to $200 per month.

Thank you to @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social and @cmfrumin.bsky.social for your partnership in securing this increase.

Starting today, DC’s most vulnerable families will receive a significant increase in child support dollars.

Too many DC residents are struggling to make ends meet, and this is a long overdue step towards helping District kids get all the financial support available to them.

Starting today, DC families receiving TANF will keep more child support—up to $200/month, a $50 increase. Proud to work with @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social & @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social to put kids first and get more support directly to families. #DCCouncil #TANF

A strong local economy means opportunity for all. Great to join Chase as they open their new Ward 3 branch. Alongside consumer banking, J.P. Morgan Chase has invested $1B+ in DC affordable housing & community services. Glad to see that impact reaching Ward 3 residents & businesses.

The Council voted to rename the Connecticut Ave Bridge over Klingle Valley as the Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge. I was honored to introduce the bill recognizing a pioneer of disability rights and a Ward 3 resident. This ensures her legacy lives on.
