Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek ! 🍎🎒✏️The best way the Council can show its appreciation for teachers is to stand by our commitment to the Schools First in Budgeting law this budget season. I am committed to restoring funding to individual schools and investing in the classroom!

Here's a look at some of what I'll be moving at Today's Legislative and Committee of the Whole Meetings, as well as a look ahead to upcoming COW hearings.

Here's how to watch: dccouncil.gov/how-to-watch-o…

We are greatly saddened by the loss of Nate Bell. Comparatively few of us work in DC’s legislative branch, so a loss like this is deeply felt. Our condolences go out to all who knew and loved him.

There are over 300 witnesses for today's Committee of the Whole oversight hearing on the overall budget.

You can follow along with the witness list and view any pre-submitted testimony on the Council's Hearing Management System: lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/heari…

“One reason why we’re here is that we support labor. Another reason is that UNITE HERE Local 25 is one of the best-organized unions in the city. You are a political force and that means people have to listen to you.” — Phil Mendelson #Morein2024

I wanted to start off today celebrating #NationalPretzelDay but the line at The Pretzel Bakery was too long to make it in time for my budget hearing.

But my staff came through in the clutch! Happy National Pretzel Day! 🥨

Today I met with DC students, whose parents are stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, for Month of the Military Child.

Being a child of a military family can be tough and all that the kids, and their parents, sacrifice is in the service of our country. We thank you!
