## Resource

A major political earthquake hit Washington D.C. as democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George surged to victory in the Democratic mayoral primary, signaling a rising tide of progressive leadership across cities. Her win echoes similar upsets in New York and Seattle, fueling debate over wealth taxes and economic impacts. Critics warn of economic fallout, while Republicans see opportunity in the shift. With no serious general election challenger, Lewis George’s path is clear — and her potential win could reshape D.C., even as federal intervention looms.
