Through dedication, cooperation and hard work we built a new hospital for District residents. Today, we are cutting the ribbon at Cedar Hill. Next week, patients will begin receiving treatment. Thank you to everyone who made this happen.

President Carter supported the D.C. Voting Rights Constitutional Amendment and was a champion for human rights everywhere. His leadership and compassion made the world a better place. Our prayers are with his family today.

"The first new D.C. hospital in a generation is coming to Congress Heights next year, and preparations are underway for a facility that city officials hope will usher in a new day for residents."

Thank you for the shout out, @MayorBowser!

Ward 7 is very proud to host the new Joy Evans Therapeutic Recreation Center. It is a space for empowerment, happiness and connection.

Great news! This is a big step forward toward re-imagining the RFK site, including the possibility of a new stadium.

The best interests of District residents --in particular those in the surrounding communities-- must be at the forefront of any outcome.

An homage to Mayor Gray— true DC icon; long time passionate public servant as councilmember and as Mayor. Very passionate sports fan— supporter of the tech business. Huge advocate of the colleges and universities in our community. Thinks big— but acts in a very personal and humble way. Always concerned about the young people in the city. A great man. And leader. Focused listener and very decisive. Thank you Vince — your positive contributions to our community will be felt for years and generations to come.

Special appreciation to @VinceGrayWard7 for a lifetime of service & leadership in DC. I saw his unswerving focus on doing the right thing up close during my time serving in the DC Government he led. Several years later, he helped us launch Tzedek DC. #Grateful
