## Resource

We’re talking with Kenyan McDuffie. As you may have heard, the longtime DC Council member is running for mayor. We talked about how he thinks our city can recover from DOGE devastation, what he thinks it would take to put a dent in the cost of housing, and whether he’d be different from the incumbent, Muriel Bowser. This is the first in a series of sit-downs with candidates. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter. You can text us or leave a voicemail at: (202) 642-2654.
