Today, I introduced the E-BIKE Act to reduce cost-barriers that prevent residents from purchasing an electric bike. This is an idea I heard from residents on our Ward 2 bike ride. Reductions in traffic congestion & pollution mean we all benefit from getting residents onto bikes.

The Commanders have committed to make the largest private investment in DC in our history. Yes, this is great for football. But it is also great to host events, build thousands of new units of housing, bring new retail and restaurants to Ward 7, and catalyze the entire city.

Today, all 13 Councilmembers joined together in sending a letter to Congressional leadership imploring them to stand up for the District’s right to self-government. We won't stand for Congress infringing on our autonomy. Read the whole letter here: ow.ly/N4ft50MK4Pq

A thriving Capitol One arena in the center of Downtown DC cannot be taken for granted. It is also vital for the economic recovery of our city. We must all stand together to ensure @MonSportsNet continue to call DC home.
