Together we are achieving great things for Ward 4

Focusing on our Neighborhoods
People choose to live in Ward 4 because of our great, stable neighborhoods. We must fight to ensure that we get the services we need to maintain and improve our neighborhoods to make them even better.

• Comprehensively address aging infrastructure issues facing the Ward, especially sidewalks, alleys, streets, and trees.
• Demand a clean and safe Ward 4 through comprehensive public works and public safety funding, education, and enforcement.
• Ensure that all public facilities are maintained at the highest levels, including parks, recreation centers, libraries, and schools.
• Promote high levels of community involvement through regular contact with neighborhoods, ANCs, and civic groups.

Fixing our Schools
The most important thing the District of Columbia must do is educate young people and provide opportunities for future generations to fully participate in the city. We can, and must, do better.

• Ensure that the transformation of DC public schools leads to measurable improvements in student outcomes.
• Address the overwhelming facilities needs of Ward 4 schools through vigorous oversight and advocacy.
• Promote excellence among students, teachers, and staff.

Fighting for Economic Revitalization
Two ingredients are needed to bring much-needed revitalization to Georgia Avenue and other Ward 4 corridors: consistent leadership and resources. We now have an Executive and a Council committed to making things happen in Ward 4's commercial sectors.

• Fund and implement Georgia Avenue and Kennedy Street revitalizations plans.
• Implement Main Street-type strategies on commercial corridors on other major corridors in Ward 4, including 14th Street, 4th Street (Takoma), Upshur Street (Petworth), and Riggs Road (Riggs Park).
• Engage and support existing Ward 4 businesses.
• Ensure high levels of community involvement.

My office is committed to providing the highest level of service to our constituents. We work closely with the Mayor's Office of Community Relations and Services as well as DC Government agency directors to ensure that Ward 4 neighborhoods and residents receive prompt, high quality city services. We strive to stay in touch with the needs of each of our neighborhoods.

Please keep us abreast of meetings and events so that we can participate and work together to facilitate solutions.
