February has kept us busy with annual agency performance oversight hearings. The Committee on Public Works and Operations, which I chair, has held hearings for 23 agencies. Performance oversight hearings are the Council’s way of reviewing D.C. government agencies to learn what challenges we are facing and ensure we are achieving progress toward our goals. It is also a time for us to hear from residents about where they see agencies doing good work or in need of improvement or changes.

I hope it's been a great summer so far! Late summer is a slow time for some, but there's lots happening in Ward 1 throughout the month of July, and lots of ways to stay involved.

After weeks of hearings and hard work, having passed the Second Vote, I can share that every one of these priorities have been fully funded. The 2023 budget represents my commitment to making the District safer, stronger, and more equitable for everyone, tackling inequalities and making this the best possible place to live.

Hi neighbors! Our green spaces and gardens are blooming, budget season is in full swing, and there's lots to share from every corner of our ward! Thanks for being involved and engaged. Let's get into it all.

It's been a very busy time for the ward and for our team! There's lots to get to today.
