I am Rashida Brown, and I am running to be your next Ward 1 Councilmember!
Less than a month ago, we kicked off our campaign, with friends, family, and bold ideas. In case you missed it, here is the full program.

🦃🦃🦃 Happy Thanksgiving Ward 1! 🩷🩷🩷 I'm grateful for this community, for the organizations lifting up our neighbors, and for the chance to spend a little time with family and friends this holiday season.

Sending love and condolences to the families impacted by today’s tragic incident. 💔
But let’s be clear — flooding our streets with more federal troops is NOT the answer. DC knows how to govern DC. We don’t need federal overreach or political stunts that put our residents at risk.

Rashida and two people stand and smile for the camera.
Huge thank-you to neighbors Adam and Ryan for opening their home and bringing together friends from across Ward 1. I’m grateful for the thoughtful questions, honest conversations about public safety and shared commitment to making sure our city’s fiscal decisions reflect our values.

I had the opportunity to tour our region’s incredible building trades training facility & learn firsthand about the union-certified apprenticeship programs offered by ironworkers, builders, painters, glassmakers — all members of UA, LIUNA, IUPAT, and IBEW. Thank you for the great tour!

It's hard to believe it’s been only 4 days since the kickoff! Three house parties & lots of great conversations since then. I love listening to residents’ concerns in these intimate settings and sharing my vision for Ward 1.

This is unacceptable. We’re in a youth mental health crisis. There should be a behavioral health staffer in every school! www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Rashida looks at her notes while speaking in what appears to be a living room. Two people are in the background watching.
Eight people standing and sitting in a living room are all looking off screen to someone speaking. It's a living room with a bookshelf and a rug. A young girl sits at a low table and is writing or drawing.

I LOVED meeting with and hearing from Park View neighbors! In a moment when our democracy faces unprecedented threats, local leadership matters and your presence tells me you believe that, too. Thank you Daniel and Renee for hosting our first house party and letting me share my vision for Ward 1.

As your Ward 1 Councilmember I’ll keep fighting to expand access to affordable housing, for interventions that reduce crime & build safer communities, and against federal overreach that threatens our neighbors. I’m running to give back to the community that has given me so much.

On the DC Council, I’ll fight for affordable housing, protect immigrant neighbors, push back on federal overreach, invest in proven public safety strategies, and make government work for residents. Become a founding donor: tinyurl.com/rashidaforwa...
