Independent · Ward 1 Member of the Council, District of Columbia
General election Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026
← District of Columbia Ward 1 Member of the Council race · All District of Columbia races
I’m an independent, a bartender, and a community organizer. I’ve spent years listening to the people of DC—and now I’m ready to fight for them.
Also running: Jett James Jasper (R) · Jude Crannitch (SG) · Aparna Raj (D)
Topic headings are Vote Book’s; quoted words are each candidate’s own, with the source under each one. “As reported” items are a news outlet’s description, not an exact quote.
Public safety
Ward 1 has a public safety failure—and we can fix it. I’ll focus on the basics: safe streets and sidewalks, enforcing the youth curfew, and keeping people from living on our streets.
Taxes
I’ll exempt city employees earning under $100,000 from DC income tax, putting more money directly into the pockets of teachers, firefighters, sanitation workers, and other essential workers.
Ballot initiatives
I will implement every voter-approved initiative and restore those the Council has overturned. These are decisions for voters—not politicians in backrooms.
