Muriel Bowser: “That is exactly how we would like to enter, Congresswoman.”

Starting with the most recent elections, where we had just really a good turnout and great wins for Democrats in New Jersey and Virginia and New York City, the next 10 months are going to be different than the last 10 months.

We started this year with a new president who was an avowed critic of the district, and we had to reset that relationship.

We don’t live in a dirty city. We are not 700,000 scumbags and punks. And we don’t have neighborhoods that should be bulldozed.

It has been the honor of my life to be your Mayor. Together, we have built a legacy of success of which I am intensely proud.
