Each Labor Day, I reflect on my grandfather, a Pullman Porter and pioneering union leader. He battled for fair pay and decent working conditions - and won! His legacy fuels my dedication to an economy that works for all of @Rockville411
Happy Labor Day!

Last weekend, I led a renter listening event. I’m grateful to the renters who shared their stories with us at the door, and later with City Hall. We must create policies that work to achieve housing stability for all City residents. Let's pass rent stabilization! #HousingJustice

Honored to lead Rockville in recognizing and celebrating Kwanzaa from Dec 26 to Jan 1. Each of the seven days highlights an important principle. My personal favorite is Day 2, "Kujichagulia" (Self-Determination). #KwanzaaCelebration #SelfDetermination

A Rockville faith leader recently said, "Healing begins with sharing stories." I appreciate the community members who shared their powerful stories with the Mayor and Council, leading to our co-creation and passage of this important statement against hate.
