This election, we have the chance to transform DC government, from Ward 1 to the Mayor’s office, and elect champions who will fight for renters, working people, and families. It's an honor to be in this fight with @janeese4dc.bsky.social!

For Ben, a parent in Ward 1, Aparna’s plan for childcare stands out among the Ward 1 candidates. Our campaign is the only one in Ward 1 with a plan for free childcare for every family, paid for by closing a tax loophole on large corporations.
