We are immigrants and native Washingtonians. Black, brown, white, queer, Jewish, Asian, Arab, Latino, AfroCaribbean, Christian, and multiracial.
We are parents, renters, homeowners, veterans, teachers, attorneys, bartenders, urban planners, engineers, artists, organizers, and small business owners.
We graduated from DC public schools and local universities. We coach teams, care for elders, volunteer in our neighborhoods, and build community across every ward.
We are passionate, compassionate, and committed to listening, accountability, equity, civic engagement, practical solutions, inclusive leadership, and stronger neighborhoods.
We are your neighbors, and we believe DC deserves a Democratic Party that reflects the people it represents.
