Great news from Phil Mendelson. Getting a handle on #Truancy is crucial as we respond to and prevent violence in DC. My bill would increase OSSE's truancy reporting to once a month so we can step in sooner and support students who are struggling to keep them on the right path.

Happy #Passover to everyone gathering for seders and beginning their celebration at sundown tonight! #HappyPesach

Thank you for having me National Cannabis Festival! As I said today: This is the 10-year anniversary of DC voters approving legalization of #Cannabis at the ballot, but congress continues to block the will of the people. The fight for representation & statehood must continue! #51stState

Proud to have secured funding for this #PublicRestroom with Friends of Oxon Run & I want to see more! Would love to see this implemented for other locations, as was recommended by a working group a few years ago WashingtonPFFC.

Thank you 7D Citizens Advisory Council for having me. The work to end violence & crime in DC doesn't end until everyone feels safe-especially residents #EOTR who consistently experience the most homicides. Excited to work w/you to pass my accountability & prevention bills. #Ward8

It was an honor to open National Medical Association's colloquium today & share my perspective on the pivotal role of local policy in shaping health outcomes within communities of color. Thank you NMA for your tireless work to confront inequities & improve outcomes for African Americans.
