I am delighted to extend my heartfelt congratulations to my colleague, Janeese Lewis George, and her husband Kyle, on the joyful arrival of their baby boy. This is a momentous occasion for their family, and I couldn’t be happier for them.

As someone with firsthand experience in this realm, I know that giving birth and raising young children while serving in office is no small feat, and it requires immense strength and resilience. I am so proud to support her in any way she needs as she takes on this new challenge of balancing work and motherhood.

I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication Janeese has consistently shown as the Ward 4 Councilmember. She has been an unwavering advocate for her community, often putting her responsibilities above her own needs. I am so excited for her to now receive the support of the residents of Ward 4 and the District as we come together to celebrate this exciting time for her and her family.

During this special time, I encourage the public to grant Councilmember Lewis George the time and space to rest and heal, and enjoy these precious early moments with her newborn, knowing her Ward 4 constituents will be fully supported by her able staff.

Once again, congratulations to Councilmember Lewis George on this wonderful addition to her family. I look forward to seeing her thrive in this new role as a mom.
