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 ✅

Huge turnout in support of @JamalHoltz. There is no doubt he is prepared to hit the ground running and continue serving the people of the District of Columbia.
Let’s start this journey together. Join me on Monday as I join the Council of the District of Columbia. 1:00PM at The John A Wilson Building Community reception to follow.

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!
