D.C. voters are heading to the polls today to choose a new mayor for the first time in 12 years. Councilmember Janeese Lewis George is heavily favored to win, potentially ushering in a new era for the nation's capital as Mayor Muriel Bowser prepares to leave office. Voter guide: bit.ly/3WCJk7E

D.C. strengthens its case for statehood through operational seriousness. Statehood is not the destination. It's the beginning. Volunteer, spread the word, join a people-first campaign. #DCStatehood #GrossForMayor

Empty storefronts mean lost community. The District Commercial Revitalization and Enterprise Act prioritizes commercial corridors, partners to activate spaces, celebrates Made in DC / Buy DC Week. #GrossForMayor #HLS

Measure health by healthy years lived, not dollars announced. Healthy City Act + Long-Term Care and Life Expectancy Act: smart hospitals, Community Wellness Centers, preventive care. #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

Every student deserves an on-ramp, not just a diploma. Pipeline to Employment Act: career-connected learning + apprenticeships (ages 18–27); college-credit bank: up to 20.5 each by graduation. #GrossForMayor #HLS

My administration asks a simple question: Does this improve the quality of life for the people of Washington, D.C.? The work to be done following this election is not just getting started but progressing forward towards the country's 51st State. #Statehood #DC #DCMayor

More than 75,000 small businesses generate nearly half of D.C.'s local jobs. The Local Prosperity and Small Business Acceleration Act delivers one-door permits, grants, and local procurement preference. #GrossForMayor #HLS

How would D.C.’s next mayor work with President Donald Trump? In interviews with 7News investigative reporter Cassie Schirm, the three candidates discuss the District’s relationship with the White House and their priorities for residents. Democrat Janeese Lewis George says her team and the administration have been in contact. Independent Rhonda Hamilton emphasizes working across political differences, while D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate Robert L. Gross discusses his vision for a more self-reliant city. Their comments come as D.C. voters prepare to choose their next mayor in the Nov. 3 election. #DCMayor #WashingtonDC #DonaldTrump #Election2026 #7News

This proves that politics has become pure optics. What do you mean you went to a closing business and asked them what it takes to thrive? DC is not pro-small business, period. Nice to break bread with you, but what we really need is your incoming administration to break bad policies that are failing us.
Dukem has been bringing people together over good food for nearly 30 years. I had dinner with Lydia, Dukem’s owner, to talk about what it will take to make sure businesses like hers can thrive in our city.

145 D.C. entities. Fragmentation wastes money, even when we spend generously. The Executive Department Consolidation Act: six HLS pillars, fewer handoffs, clearer accountability. #HumanLifeStandard #GrossForMayor
