I’m Mike and I’m running for the Ward 8 Council. I’m a Washingtonian, attorney, & former ANC Chair. We’ve seen the impact of politicians putting their pockets above the people while families are being pushed out vs. lifted up. I’m running because it’s time we Get It Right ✅

Big news for DC! 🌉✨ @DCBridgePark has secured its construction permit from the DC Department of Buildings. DDOT will solicit a general contractor next month.
One step closer to making the Park a reality. Onward!
My thoughts & prayers are with the Francis family, our @XULA1925 community, NOLA, & the countless lives Dr. Francis touched. Rest in power
