My administration asks a simple question: Does this improve the quality of life for the people of Washington, D.C.? The work to be done following this election is not just getting started but progressing forward towards the country's 51st State. #Statehood #DC #DCMayor

The D.C. Statehood Green Party is the party of true progression. Let us bring forth a new upbringing, one of quality, quantity, and respect.

More than 75,000 small businesses generate nearly half of D.C.'s local jobs. The Local Prosperity and Small Business Acceleration Act delivers one-door permits, grants, and local procurement preference. #GrossForMayor #HLS

How would D.C.’s next mayor work with President Donald Trump? In interviews with 7News investigative reporter Cassie Schirm, the three candidates discuss the District’s relationship with the White House and their priorities for residents. Democrat Janeese Lewis George says her team and the administration have been in contact. Independent Rhonda Hamilton emphasizes working across political differences, while D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate Robert L. Gross discusses his vision for a more self-reliant city. Their comments come as D.C. voters prepare to choose their next mayor in the Nov. 3 election. #DCMayor #WashingtonDC #DonaldTrump #Election2026 #7News

This proves that politics has become pure optics. What do you mean you went to a closing business and asked them what it takes to thrive? DC is not pro-small business, period. Nice to break bread with you, but what we really need is your incoming administration to break bad policies that are failing us.
Dukem has been bringing people together over good food for nearly 30 years. I had dinner with Lydia, Dukem’s owner, to talk about what it will take to make sure businesses like hers can thrive in our city.

Stop re-proving the same information to five agencies. The Individual Life Profile is secure, resident-controlled & opt-in. HIPAA-compliant. Encrypted. Informed consent only. Your data, your control. #HumanLifeStandard #GrossForMayor

145 D.C. entities. Fragmentation wastes money, even when we spend generously. The Executive Department Consolidation Act: six HLS pillars, fewer handoffs, clearer accountability. #HumanLifeStandard #GrossForMayor

Transit access is civic access. The Metro Stability & DC Free-Fare Act phases in free bus service for seniors, students & underused corridors; monthly scorecards track reliability. #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

Chronic absenteeism: ~10% (2014-15) → ~30% (2023-24). Only 1 in 5 meet college-ready SAT benchmarks. ABCs of Learning Act: attendance, behavior, course performance catch problems early. #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

If the system is working, the public should be able to see it. The District Transparency Act and Standardized AI Dashboard Act put response times and service metrics on public dashboards in real time. #HLS #GrossForMayor

We reject a false choice: eco-socialism vs. capitalism. Government ensures sustainability, accountability & equal opportunity; markets fuel innovation & prosperity. Purpose, not profit. #HumanLifeStandard #PurposeNotProfit

This city does not have a resource problem. It has a systems problem. The Human Life Standard asks: do decisions measurably improve residents’ quality of life, stability, dignity, and opportunity? #HLS #GrossForMayor

This party like our city may be a bit underrepresented and underfunded but we're still working our way towards November with our biggest Ticket to date! Let's get a real change for D.C.! #DCStatehood #DCStatehoodGreens #November3rd #MidTerms

Youngest candidate in the race, building our future, recognizing the past DC, and embracing the new. These 3 things aren't a contradiction. They're the point. #GenZLeadership #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

It's even worse than what we think! They sell us out everyday on housing, education, healthcare, climate, wages, life essentials, and our dwindling civil liberties and call if FREEDOM! #VoteThemOut #MoneyOutOfPolitics
