Our work in Maryland is far from over, and we're thankful we have so many champions helping to carry it out. @joleneivey.bsky.social @goldberginmd.bsky.social @judashman.bsky.social @cmkatestewart.bsky.social @natalifg.bsky.social @dawnluedtke.bsky.social

So you (might) want to be an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in DC? Join us, and current commissioners from across the District, for a free training Monday night to learn more about the role, how to run, and what to expect when you win. All are welcome! ggwash.org/calendar/eve...

More housing, better transit, and smarter land use were on the ballot in DC, and won big. #ggwash #prohousing #yimby #transit #election

🧵: With Maryland early voting underway, we wanted to remind you why Andrew Friedson is worthy of your vote for Montgomery County Executive. He’s demonstrated again and again his unwavering commitment to making the county a more affordable, prosperous place. 1/8

Join us for a sign-making pizza party in advance of the Pride Parade on Mon, June 15! RSVP: ggwash.org/calendar/eve... The parade is June 20 and GGWash will be marching with @waba.org, @actfortransit.bsky.social, @safestreetsdc.bsky.social, @ward5familybiking.bsky.social, and Takoma Family Biking.

Undergirding all of this is also a commitment to professionalism and public service. JLG has a big vision and writes that she “will not undermine public trust by nullifying the work of her own agencies” in its pursuit. This would be a breath of fresh air 7/8🧵:

JLG is also a proponent of road pricing, aiming to bring those health, economic, and transpo benefits to bear in the District. This stands in contrast to her main opponent, who recently flipped his stance on road pricing 6/8🧵:

JLG’s multimodal approach to transportation extends to active transportation as well. She has a vision for creating more dedicated bike lanes and creating more car-free zones around the city. 5/8🧵:

On transportation, @janeese4dc.bsky.social is a clear “bus bae,” in favor of dedicated bus lanes across the city, bus stop accessibility, and dedicated operations funding for transit. “If it’s faster, easier, and cheaper for people to get downtown by car—we are doing something wrong.” 4/8🧵:

Furthermore, JLG understands improving housing opportunities means increasing density. She cites Paris’ density levels as ideal to replicate, particularly “where supply has been deliberately restricted as a legacy of segregation and perpetuated by anti-growth activism.” 3/8🧵:

On building more housing: @janeese4dc.bsky.social has repeatedly called for increasing housing supply, especially transit-oriented development, to the tune of 72,000 new units in five years through an appropriately aggressive set of policies 2/8🧵:

DC! It is less than a week until the primary and it couldn’t be more important to support pro-housing, pro-transit candidates. Thankfully, we have a slate of great endorsees ready to hit the ground running. First up, our endorsed candidate for mayor: @janeese4dc.bsky.social 1/8🧵:

“There should be enough housing stock for those below median poverty levels, as well as those just out of college or young families looking for starter homes.”

“Better public transit, biking, pedestrian safety, supporting urbanist principles and increasing housing and density, transit-oriented development…matter to me.”

“We need to continue to encourage high-quality, sustainable development...while also emphasizing mixed-income housing, affordability, transit-oriented development, and redevelopment of our established communities and aging developments.”

“Family-sized housing should be built in many forms, including apartments, townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes…It is housing that helps families put down roots, stay stable, and build community across generations.”

“I will work to ensure housing, entertainment, employment, shopping, dining, and social activity are located within a short walking distance of the transportation hubs…reducing the dependence on personal vehicles while increasing the overall quality of life.”

GGWash is proud to endorse leaders who will help Prince George’s County lower costs by building more housing, supporting transit, and giving people more and better choices on where to live. Find our full endorsement write-ups on our elections hub: ggwash.org/elections/2026

“I believe our housing affordability crisis impacts all of the County as well as our County’s future economic prospects.” @dawnluedtke.bsky.social

“We will continue working to update our land use laws to ensure more housing gets built…people understand and feel that we do need more housing for people of different income levels.” @natalifg.bsky.social

“We are in a housing crisis…there is overwhelming support across different demographic groups to revisit and change our zoning laws to enable more housing and more affordable housing to be built in Montgomery County." @cmkatestewart.bsky.social

“If we get housing wrong, families are priced out. If we get transportation wrong, congestion worsens and emissions rise. If we get land use wrong, we lock in inequity for decades.” @judashman.bsky.social

“I want more housing in my neighborhood. Near me in downtown Bethesda, the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Cordell has sat vacant for seven years. I want us to build opportunity for more neighbors...make sure nowhere stands vacant for so long in the future.” @drewemorrison.bsky.social

“Rent stabilization protects tenants from sudden, destabilizing rent spikes. That matters. But on its own, it is not solving our affordability crisis…And without enough housing, rents will stay high no matter what we cap.”

“Housing should be family-sized, affordable, and workforce-friendly, providing access to jobs, schools, and services while supporting sustainable, walkable, and diverse neighborhoods.”

“The goal is a housing market with options for everyone—from deeply subsidized units for our most vulnerable residents to attainable market-rate housing for working families.” @jimmcnulty.bsky.social

“Our efforts to keep rents low, build more housing supply, protect tenants, and allow markets to work are disjointed and flailing. We need to bring them into harmony.” @goldberginmd.bsky.social

“Montgomery County has to stop sending 'don’t build here' signals and start recognizing that more housing is essential to building a more equitable, prosperous, and sustainable future.”

GGWash is proud to endorse leaders who will help Montgomery County lower costs by building more housing, supporting transit, and giving people more and better choices on where to live. Find our full endorsement write-ups on our elections hub: ggwash.org/elections/2026

"I have pushed aggressively for DDOT to move forward with safer design and engineering of our roadways and intersections. I also led the Council to pass and authored the landmark STEER Act to increase accountability for dangerous drivers." @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social
