Councilmember Nadeau speaks with WTOP about the RFK stadium deal

Councilmember Nadeau spoke on Wednesday night with WTOP’s Nick Ianelli about the proposed RFK Stadium deal. She says D.C. can’t afford to spend $1 billion on a sports stadium for a privately held team and that the deal is not a good one for the District. “D.C. Councilmembers are obligated to ensure that we are using our tax dollars wisely and if any one of us doesn’t believe that, then we will vote against this.”

Today’s announcement that the fed government will make use of Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard in DC should concern not only the city’s 700,000 residents, but all Americans. Today our federal government seeks to interfere in DC’s local affairs, but any city could be next.
The more the deal is analyzed, the clearer it is that in a very rushed process, with artificial deadlines, the city has negotiated a deal that will pay well for the team, but not for the District or its residents.
At Monday's Council vote on the First Reading of the FY 2026 budget, we restored funds to critical programs, approved funding for ranked choice voting, and postponed action on the ill-conceived repeal of I-82, the tipped minimum wage.
