A year and a half ago, I was pushing for the DC’s State Board of Education to formalize a resolution that stated that, “a quality public education was a a civil right”, but no one was trying to hear me. Can you hear me now?…

Thanks to @CMFrumin for sponsoring a fun family outing at City Ridge tonight to cheer on the Washington Spirit. Parent priorities included Pre-K3, supporting substitute teachers, & age-appropriate screen time. Today was such a wonderful day to be out campaigning in Ward 3!

I had a great start to another nonstop day of campaigning at the Palisades Farmers Market on this gorgeous sunny fall morning! Ward 3 voters told me they wanted Pre-K3 in Ward 3 and more Career and Technical education programs to reduce truancy. (1/2)

I’m out at the UDC Van Ness Farmers Market this morning talking with Ward 3 residents about education issues on this beautiful, sunny fall day. Stop by and get some great fresh produce!

Replying to @trayonwhite
I agree with the Councilmember. The vendor DC selected doesn't even allow you to do a payment plan. I tried to at least pay something on the fine to stop it from doubling because I was laid off from work, it was not permitted.

🚨 A late penalty should NOT a poverty penalty! I introduced legislation to STOP DC from doubling traffic and parking fines for missed deadlines. We can hold drivers accountable without pushing working families deeper into debt. Safe streets AND fairness. We can have both.

🔥 D.L. Hughley on @stephenasmith’s dinner with Trump: “You did this for YOU. Why is it the people who hate us feel so comfortable talking to you? You got a meal, everyone else is starving. When NABJ gave SAS a thumbs down award he went scorched earth. When Trump impugned his intelligence he went to dinner.”

PALtoberfest was so much fun today. It was great seeing @CMFrumin & hundreds of neighbors out at the annual Palisades celebration of fall. Bringing Pre-K 3 to Ward 3 DCPS schools was the top concern raised by parents tonight.

I spent midday delivering SBOE reelection yard signs across Ward 3. Next up is the Palisades Community Association’s PALtoberfest, i.e. Oktoberfest in the Palisades, a fun, family-friendly neighborhood celebration, which is conveniently occurring at my neighbor’s house this year.

I had a great morning speaking with Ward 3 residents from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Palisades Farmers Market. Parents with school-aged children were particularly concerned about screen time in elementary schools, lack of DCPS Pre-K3, school safety, & hiring more school nurses.

Charles Barkley: “I think one of the worst things about Trump, he’s made it popular to be racist. There’s no consequences for being racist now. A lot of people are wearing it with a badge of courage. He never denounces it. Nah, he should denounce it. He’s made it more acceptable to be racist”
