ICYMI: Our COVID Centers now offer free child sized KN95 masks. Any DC resident with proof of address can obtain 10 children’s masks and 2 adult masks. Residents can also get vaccinations, boosters, take-home rapid antigen tests and PCR tests— all in one place.
UPDATE: @DCPoliceDept has closed a number of freeway exits to keep traffic moving safely through the area. These rolling road closures are occurring in real-time as they are needed, and will be lifted as soon as they are no longer necessary.
I've requested that the Council of the District of Columbia authorize the use of eminent domain in order to initiate action at the long-stalled Capitol Gateway Marketplace and make the long-promised grocery store in Ward 7 a reality.
