Nadeau just announced that she'll be stepping down, making this an open seat.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Ward 1 and the District for the past 11 years as Councilmember, and before that as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner. Together, in the most vibrant and diverse Ward in DC, we have built affordable housing, ended homelessness for thousands of residents, expanded childcare, improved our schools, built new parks, supported our youth and seniors, fought for our immigrant neighbors, addressed public safety comprehensively, and made investments in every neighborhood in Ward 1. And while there is still so much more to do, I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. In the coming weeks I will announce my support for a candidate who is a proud progressive Democrat with a proven track record in local government, who has worked with Councilmembers and the Mayor to get things done, and is deeply rooted in the community. She knows what it’s like to struggle in a low wage job, has fought for affordable housing in our community, and has spent her career focused on early childhood education. I hope you’ll rank her as your top choice too.
