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.

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!

Jesse Jackson was certainly a national figure, but he was also actively involved in the fight for D.C. statehood and autonomy. (H/t to @councilofdc for breaking out the historic campaign pin today.)
Rev. Jesse Jackson's dedication to the District and D.C. statehood went beyond just advocacy. Watch and subscribe on YouTube: nbc4dc.com/VCLR5zs

Sad local news: Longtime D.C. religious leader and civic activist Graylan Hagler has passed away, per his church. He was active in local politics; he ran for D.C. Council and was frequently lobbying lawmakers for progressive causes. He was a force. RIP.
