I will not be shy about standing up to the Trump administration. Washingtonians deserve safety and stability. When ICE and federal agents were patrolling our streets, I passed a law to increase oversight and transparency. In Congress, I will fight for accountability.

Trump’s threats to take control of the District of Columbia are dangerous, authoritarian, and a direct assault on the rights of 700,000 residents who deserve self-governance, like every American, to elect our own leadership.

Happy birthday to Congresswoman @EleanorNorton! 🥳🎉 Congresswoman Norton has spent her career fighting for DC home rule, civil rights, workers, and the infrastructure that keeps our city moving. From pushing for full representation and autonomy for the District to securing investments in transportation and advocating for federal workers, her impact on DC is undeniable. I’m so grateful for her leadership and the path she has helped pave for Washingtonians in Congress. Wishing her a wonderful birthday filled with love and celebration from across our city! 💕

Our city's story is one of resilience, service, and diversity. I'm proud to follow in the footsteps of leaders who dedicated their lives to expanding opportunity and protecting our democracy. As our next Congressional Delegate, I'll keep fighting to honor our history, defend our rights, and build a stronger future for every Washingtonian.

Our diversity is one of DC's greatest strengths. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me to Masjid Muhammad and for the opportunity to share my vision for our city. Trust is earned through action, partnership, and a commitment to working shoulder to shoulder with the people of DC every step of the way. Together, we'll build a city where every community is heard, respected, and represented.

I’ve spent my career fighting for DC - making our city safer, standing up to federal overreach, leading Downtown revitalization, and bringing our Commanders home. Now, I’m running for Congress to keep delivering for everyone in DC by lowering housing costs — helping renters, first-time homebuyers, and seniors age in place — and protecting our city’s future and right to our own autonomy.
