Ward 5 Day is just around the corner (September 19!) and that means Ward 5 Week is, too! One of the highlights of Ward 5 Week each year is our community night at Nationals Park, with free tickets for hundreds of Ward 5 neighbors. Sign up now to join me and my team for the Nationals game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, September 15 at 6:45 p.m. There are a limited number of tickets and they always go fast, so don’t wait! I’m looking forward to cheering on the Nats with neighbors soon.
I’m also excited to share that my office welcomed a new team member this week. Welcome, Kelley Cislo! Many of you already know Kelley from her many years working in the Wilson building for Councilmembers McDuffie and Crawford. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team and will be serving as the Constituent Services Coordinator for ANCs 5A and 5B. Join me in welcoming her by sending a hello to kcislo@dccouncil.gov.
The Ward 5 Wave Podcast
This week on the Ward 5 Wave, I dig deeper into my office’s Ward 5 Housing Conditions Tour with a conversation featuring tenants and tenant advocates from properties we have visited this summer. The goal of this tour is to coordinate with District agencies to improve living conditions at properties of concern across the ward, and this episode highlights the challenges neighbors are facing, the steps we’re taking to make a difference, and the different roles we all play.
