We’re talking today with a different candidate who has a somewhat different resume. Kinney Zalesne has worked in national politics and held a major Washington job at Microsoft. She’s here to explain why that resume — along with her own set of values and priorities — is right for this very weird moment in our city’s history. Want some more DC news?
