As the mayoral race heats up, accusations have been flying between the candidates. But how many of them are actually true? In a two-part installment, we fact-checked recent attacks, including assertions that Janeese Lewis George will defund the police and the heat McDuffie is taking for the city losing millions in potential sports betting revenue. Check back for part two tomorrow.
And for the first time in 30 years, there's a competitive race to fill D.C.’s delegate to Congress, a non-voting position that has taken on new significance as the city faces repeated attacks on its independence from the Trump administration. We interviewed all five candidates who are vying for Eleanor Holmes Norton's job.
Looking to hear from the people running to be D.C.'s delegate directly? Join us in person this Thursday, May 14th for a lively debate, presented in partnership with Spotlight DC and The Washington Informer at Sycamore and Oak. RSVP Here.
Two sitting members of the D.C. Council, a former nuclear regulator, a prominent Democratic fundraiser, and one of Eleanor Holmes Norton’s recent staffers are all vying to replace her.
Join the candidates running to be D.C.’s delegate to Congress for a lively debate on May 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Sycamore and Oak. We’ll be livestreaming, but only in-person attendees will have the chance to submit questions.
With your help, we pursue stories that hold leaders to account, demystify opaque city and civic processes, and celebrate the idiosyncrasies that make us proud to call D.C. home. Put simply, our mission is to make it easier — and more fun — to live in the District. Our members help keep local news free and independent for all:
