Thank you to CNN for having me to discuss today’s pressing issues, including the ongoing National Guard occupation in Washington, D.C. As your next DC Council At-Large Member, I’ll continue standing up for D.C. residents and advocating for the District we deserve.

Civic engagement starts with showing up. Looking forward to speaking with students at SW Academy DC today about leadership, public service, and the power of using your voice. As your next DC Council At-Large Member, I’ll always invest in the next generation.

The Eastern Branch of the Boys & Girls Club has been closed since 2007, but Ward 7 hasn’t forgotten what it meant to generations of young people. Proud to stand with neighbors commemorating this historic building and its legacy.

Great spending time with neighbors at the Ward 8 Democrats Unity Happy Hour. Conversations like these remind me why community matters. As your next DC Council At-Large Member, I’ll keep showing up, listening, and fighting for every ward. #DCValues #Ward8

Yesterday, I joined IUPAT, IBEW, Plumbers Local 5, and AFL-CIO members on the National Mall to stand up for DC workers. Every worker deserves fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to paid family leave. I’m committed to being that voice on the Council. #UnionStrong #DCWorkers

U.S. Rep Oye Owolewa@repoyedc· May 27

Thanks to Engine Company 21 in Adams Morgan, the Alley Rats. Incredible getting to watch your training exercise up close today. The speed, calm, teamwork, and trust it takes to do that job is something else. I’m also proud to be endorsed by the DC Fire Fighters Union, IAFF Local 36. 🚒

This work has never been about one person, it’s about all of us. Showing up. Speaking out. Staying consistent. That’s how change happens. This is the DC I’m fighting for!

U.S. Rep Oye Owolewa@repoyedc· Mar 24

This past Saturday: brought the flavor AND the solutions. You can judge the plate, but I’m focused on delivering results for DC. Good food. Real conversations. Better policy.
