Incumbent Garrett is car-free, pro-housing, and is committed to “standing ten toes down” on his belief that economic growth can and should be redistributed to make the District more equitable, more accessible, and more connected. He is correct in asserting, “We can meet Janeese Lewis George’s housing goal, but it will require urgency, accountability, and a willingness to use every available tool. That means holding developers accountable, removing unnecessary barriers, using public land strategically, and making sure new development includes homes that working families can actually afford.” His preference for the clarity of by-right development and willingness to recognize that the loudest voices may not be the most representative are demonstrative of the outlook necessary to execute on the above policies. Garrett deserves your vote.
