What does it look like to bring global expertise in anti-corruption home to District 9? In this interview with the Metro DC Chapter of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), I sit down with fellow organizers to discuss the path toward a truly representative government.

We dive deep into the strategic challenges of public financing, specifically how rejecting developer money allows us to prioritize people-centric development and transit equity over corporate profit. From my "No Kings" philosophy to our shared vision for a county where basic needs are met and labor is respected, this conversation is about more than an election; it’s about building a movement.

Key subjects include:

• Public Financing: Why the Fair Election Fund is our best tool against "pay-to-play" politics.

• A New Vision: Moving beyond "dumping ground" politics toward a sustainable, inclusive South County.

As a longtime DSA member and organizer, I am proud to be an endorsed candidate in this fight. Watch as we discuss how we can transform the County Council into a vehicle for the working class.
