Welcome to the Campaign!

Working Together for Fairlawn & Anacostia

Welcome! I am incredibly honored to serve as your Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for SMD 8A01. From day one, my focus has been on rolling up my sleeves alongside you—coordinating community cleanups, walking our streets with city leaders to address traffic safety, and making sure our neighborhood’s voice is heard loud and clear at City Hall.But this work is a partnership. To keep this momentum going, I need you on this journey with me. Whether you have been a part of this community for decades or just moved in, your voice, your feedback, and your vision are what drive our neighborhood forward.
Why Your Contribution Matters

Our campaign is entirely grassroots. We don’t rely on corporate donors or outside special interest groups—we rely on neighbors like you.When you make a contribution to this campaign, you aren't just helping to print flyers or buy yard signs. You are investing in the advocacy of our community. Your support provides the resources we need to:
  • Reach every door in our Single Member District so that every resident has a voice.
  • Organize community events like neighborhood walks and cleanups that bring city agencies directly to our blocks.
  • Keep neighbors informed with regular updates on local policy, safety, and infrastructure improvements.
Even a small contribution of $25 makes a massive difference in helping us run a strong, independent campaign. If you believe in active, hands-on leadership for 8A01, please consider making a donation today.Contribute to the Campaign
