BREAKING: JB Pritzker just announced he has WIPED OUT over $1.4 billion of medical debt for Illinois residents. This is amazing.
Elected to Serve…16 years ago I began my service to the Democratic Party to re-elect President Barack Obama. In the same room I was first trained, I was elected from 72 amazing candidates to serve as newly elected Add-on Committee Member for the DC Democratic Party. The stakes could not be higher and I’m honor to be a formal part of the party working to protect DC, Democratic policies and achieve statehood.
CBC Week! I will be speaking at 5 events various topics, including preventing violence, freeing DC from Trump, issues impacting our generation, and the way forward to progressing our community during these challenging times.

New Orleans ended 2025 with its lowest murder count in more than 50 years—proving what's possible when cities make sustained investments in community violence intervention. thelensnola.org/2026/08/13/c…
“For generations, politicians assumed that there will be no consequences for attacking DC…that because we don’t have a vote, that we can’t threaten their power, well they changed today.” ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 #DefendDC @freedcproject_ @51stnews
NEW: Republicans control both chambers of Congress, but that could change in November.
@RobertWhite_DC, @freedcproject_, and other partners believe that could be critical to the lives of D.C. residents — so they're organizing campaign buses to key states: 51st.news/defend-dc-midterm-…

Today @RobertWhite_DC, the Democratic nominee for D.C. delegate to Congress, is announcing Defend D.C., a new initiative to influence congressional races across the country.
“We are going to change the Congress that has power over us,” he says.
11 mile walk through the city was pretty amazing yesterday! I was able to explore Douglass, Anacostia, Congress Heights, Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, Trinidad, Union Market, H Street Corridor, Waterfront all in one day. I really love this city.
My graduate course on Microeconomics has been really enlightening to explore to the intersections of health and economics, overlayed with the challenges our communities face everyday. I’m growing so much through this experience @YaleSPH

Not that she needs it, but this could be an interesting test of whether someone could demand that body camera footage be released to the public. (Note the camera on his chest.)
Also, this seems to speak to the very criticisms of federal agents wearing masks, no?
These speeding ticket fines are outrageous. There has to be a better way to deter speeding or incentivize safer driving in the District.

These speed limit infraction changes are now officially in effect, as of August 7, 2026!
Basically, D.C. is moving to clarify the speeding ranges that get you certain fines. Currently, anything from 11-15 mph over the speed limit is a $100 fine. But @DDOTDC wants to change it to "more than 10 mph" up to 15. Minor wording change, significant impact.
Well deserved, congrats @iamwesmoore !
We don’t need more time, just more focus.
If you looked back at your last 48 hours, how many hours were dedicated to your goals, hopes and dreams?
After six years of advocacy in #Austin, we have seen homicides cut in half and recently I joined local leaders to advocate for sustaining the funding for the city’s first Office of Violence Prevention and Community Violence Intervention grants for programs like #ATXPeace @jailtojobs
We know every city must make tough budget decisions, but divesting in community led strategies is the not the answer to keep communities safe! #ProtectCVI #endgunviolence – at Austin, TX
Beautiful night celebrating an amazing year of @ElectEDdc building power east of the river to improve educational outcomes for our youth!
Honored to join the @NAACP Health Summit today in Chicago for a conversation on “Building Hope and Breaking the Cycle of Trauma and Violence.”
Violence is not just a criminal justice issue—it’s a public health issue, a mental health issue, and a community issue.
Looking forward to sharing lessons from my experience as a gun violence survivor, former White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention leader, President of the Rocket Foundation, and Yale Executive MPH student.

“The 4 HBCUs that offer medical school are responsible for 50% of the Black doctors in America…that’s equivalent to only 2% of the med schools.” Marlon Fuller, Associate Director at @Novartis
This stat was enlightening that we must do more to strengthen the pipelines to Black health care professionals in our country #wethepeople @NAACP
