What can we do together in the next four years?

That's a tough question because DC's District Council has thirteen members, of which I'll be just one. Most of what the Council does is setting budget priorities, passing DC's budgets, confirming or rejecting mayoral appointments, and holding hearings which are supposed to uncover facts and empower DC residents to publicly make their case for what local government ought to be doing, or not doing to make our communities and families viable and whole. Quite a bit of what you can do depends on what you can convince other members of DC's District Council to support you on.
