I'm here to help residents of #ColumbiaHeightsDC! Please contact my official ANC inbox at [email protected] if you need help. This account covers my personal views and is not an official government account.
Yes yes yes thank you @Janeese4DC! @ANC1A unanimously approved a resolution calling on the Mayor to appoint a Rat Czar to coordinate rodent efforts across agencies & city! We also called for more trash containerization. #ColumbiaHeightsDC has a huge rat problem & we need help!

Our ANC passed a resolution in support of CM Allen’s AV bill because DC has tried and failed to reduce traffic fatalities. The Mayor-Elect says DC needs to prioritize safety but this is cutting one potential avenue to do that away. I’m just so bummed by this
One of @CityCast_DC new hot restaurants opening is right here in #ColumbiaHeightsDC - Major Yum! A “Mostly Asian” counter-service w menu inspired by Chinese & Korean dishes, such as Chung’s Chicken, a mash-up of General Tso’s chicken & Korean fried chicken. Cannot wait to try!
Espresso martini towers, a tiki “spaceship diner” and a Lao snack window are all on the menu this fall. @Kaela_CS

Exactly. Council cannot keep kicking the can down the road until autonomous vehicles never see the light of day in DC. San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Austin already offer Waymo rides. I hope the rest of Council weighs the safety evidence and the cost of withholding those benefits from residents. It’s time to pass the legislation.
Replying to @maustermuhle
UPDATE: Allen tells me he still plans on moving the Waymo bill forward.
"Part of what we have built in is the strongest worker protections in any bill you have seen around the country," he tells me.
I think this is the wrong call. As the nation’s capital, we shouldn’t block innovation like Waymo. We need to keep pace w other cities/states innovating while creating regs/policies that protect workers, create jobs, & upskill people. Why can’t we have both?
It’s open! Welcome 2AM Project to #ColumbiaHeightsDC I’m excited to try it out and glad the Civic Plaza has a new filled storefront to bring new life and energy! @DistrictBridges

So excited for this! I get so many questions from neighbors about what’s going on w this space and what’s filling it and exciting to see this all come together. #ColumbiaHeightsDC
EXCLUSIVE: The Porch & Pebbles from the owners of Nanny O’Briens, Franklin Hall (and MANY Others) coming to old Meridian Pint space in Columbia Heights!! - See the full scoop: popville.com/2026/10/the-por…
#ColumbiaHeightsDC neighbors: join me at a Columbia Heights town hall hosted by Ward 1 Council Dem nominee (and next Councilmember) @aparnafordc on Monday 10/5 at 6:30. This is a great opportunity to make your voice heard on issues in our neighborhood!
Replying to @aparnafordc
Just three town halls left this fall! Governing for all of us will take all of us.
Our next stop is in Columbia Heights- see more information and RSVP to any of our town halls here:

Gotta give credit where it's due: America.gov is a great new product. It uses an AI chatbot to make the federal gov easier to navigate. Cities like DC need this kind of single "front door" for neighbors & biz owners dealing with services spread across agencies.
Great to see one of the vacant spots at the Civic Plaza be filled with a new business! This is a totally new entrant for DC. #ColumbiaHeightsDC

What a pleasure to work in partnership with colleagues in @ANC1B to fight for place management entities for BOTH our neighborhoods. They may take diff forms, but they strive towards similar goals.
Today I had the honor of testifying before @councilofdc in support of a #ColumbiaHeightsDC Neighborhood Mgmt Authority alongside @ANC1A colleagues, other commissioners, neighbors, small biz owners, & community leaders who spoke to our needs & are rallying behind this effort!
1/2 Today’s my birthday 🥳🎂!
My wish is for a cleaner, safer & more vibrant #ColumbiaHeightsDC + the creation of a Neighborhood Management Authority to help make it happen. That’s why I’ll be testifying in support at Thursday’s 9/24 DC Council hearing chaired by @charlesallen
2/2 The NMA would create a permanent, community-driven entity with dedicated funding & staff to care for public spaces, support local businesses, reduce vacancies, coordinate services & invest in #ColumbiaHeightsDC for the long term. Learn more: columbiaheightsnma.com
Neighbors, please join ANC 1A @DC_ANC1D & @BrianneKNadeau Sept 22 from 7-8pm at LAYC (1419 Columbia Rd NW) for an info session on proposed legislation to create a Neighborhood Management Authority for #ColumbiaHeightsDC. Bring your questions!
