Incumbent Simmons is truly best on housing, in response to our questionnaire and in practice. She has consistently and firmly backed the redevelopment of the Chevy Chase civic core, even when opponents’ voices have reached their loudest pitches. Simmons, who lives in one of the parts of the District in which it is most challenging to build more homes, is quite literally doing the work to “ensure that every ward contributes to meeting the city’s housing needs.” She deserves your vote.
