Janeese Lewis George for DC Mayor
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Janeese Lewis George for Mayor of Washington, D.C. because she isn’t just talking about change — she has spent her career fighting for it.
A Ward 4 Councilmember and labor ally, Janeese made history as the first self-described democratic socialist elected to the D.C. Council in decades. She ran — and won — on a grassroots, small-donor campaign that centered working people.
Now, Janeese is running a people-first campaign for Mayor focused on affordability, equity, and building a city that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few.
Her platform directly takes on the crises facing working families:
- Universal Childcare: Expanding subsidies so every D.C. family can afford care
- Social Housing: Investing in publicly owned, mixed-income housing to tackle skyrocketing rents
- Workers & Families First: Fighting for good jobs, strong labor protections, and economic justice
- Immigrant Justice: Ending cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration enforcement
- Community Safety: Investing in prevention, public services, and accountability — not failed status quo approaches
- Affordable City for All: Tackling the cost of housing, childcare, transportation, and small business survival
This is a comprehensive agenda rooted in the idea that government should serve people — not corporations and big money interests.
Janeese is challenging a political establishment that has held power in D.C. for decades — and she’s doing it the same way she’s always led: by organizing. She is offering a clear alternative to politics as usual — one that uplifts working people, renters, families, and communities too often left behind.
Janeese represents the next generation of leaders carrying that movement forward at the local level — where real change can take root.
When we organize, we win.
