APTA 2026 TRANSform & EXPO did not disappoint. Earlier this month I traveled to Chicago w/Team @wmata for the largest public transportation conference in North America. It was great to connect with industry leaders & check out cutting-edge technologies of the future. #aptaEXPO

Very few communities can boast to being the birthplace of so many lasting & impactful nonprofits like we can in Alexandria. Honored to speak at @TenantsWorkers 40th Anniversary Gala. TWU's impact in the region and across VA has been felt for generations. #AlexandriaVA #Community

Check your mailbox! The Transportation Planning Board might have sent you a postcard. If you received one, we want to hear about how you travel. Your input helps shape better roads, transit, sidewalks, and bike lanes in the DMV for the next 20 years. bit.ly/4ziPPL5

Data centers should not be by-right development. They should not be near people, they should not be taking our precious natural resources, they should not be raising our utility rates and they have no place being near one of the most densely populated sections of our community.

Had a great time at Patrick Henry Rec Center's Hispanic Heritage Celebration. I was bummed I couldn’t compete in the pupusa eating contest but then again two food challenges in one day might have been a bit much for me 😅 #AlexandriaVA #LatinoHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth

🟡🔵Heads up for tomorrow: From 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., trains will single track on the Yellow and Blue lines between Pentagon City and @Reagan_Airport. All Yellow Line trains will run between Huntington and Greenbelt only. This proactive work will allow destressing of the rails, which helps prevent rail kinks. Learn more: wmata.com/weekday

Growing up in LA I think I took for granted how often international games were hosted in the city so getting to watch @miseleccionmx last night was really special. Hopefully with the new RFK stadium being built we won't have to travel as far next time 😉
