Proud to stand with DC’s bravest — @IAFF36 firefighter’s union — to ensure they have a right to negotiate their contract, including pay increases. We must value our hardworking first responders. Thank you for your service to our city and for always having our backs — we must…

I’m disappointed this compromise path forward was amended out of the budget today. We cannot close our eyes to the reality that the status quo is not working for many workers, restaurant operators, nor customers. I’ll continue working with colleagues over the next two weeks on…

An important public safety investment we were able to make in today’s budget is for DNA testing at our Department of Forensic Sciences. This is an issue I’ve been working on for several years, including reforms we made in Secure DC to close cases and pursue justice — evidence…
