How would D.C.’s next mayor work with President Donald Trump? In interviews with 7News investigative reporter Cassie Schirm, the three candidates discuss the District’s relationship with the White House and their priorities for residents. Democrat Janeese Lewis George says her team and the administration have been in contact. Independent Rhonda Hamilton emphasizes working across political differences, while D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate Robert L. Gross discusses his vision for a more self-reliant city. Their comments come as D.C. voters prepare to choose their next mayor in the Nov. 3 election. #DCMayor #WashingtonDC #DonaldTrump #Election2026 #7News

This proves that politics has become pure optics. What do you mean you went to a closing business and asked them what it takes to thrive? DC is not pro-small business, period. Nice to break bread with you, but what we really need is your incoming administration to break bad policies that are failing us.
Dukem has been bringing people together over good food for nearly 30 years. I had dinner with Lydia, Dukem’s owner, to talk about what it will take to make sure businesses like hers can thrive in our city.

Stop re-proving the same information to five agencies. The Individual Life Profile is secure, resident-controlled & opt-in. HIPAA-compliant. Encrypted. Informed consent only. Your data, your control. #HumanLifeStandard #GrossForMayor

145 D.C. entities. Fragmentation wastes money, even when we spend generously. The Executive Department Consolidation Act: six HLS pillars, fewer handoffs, clearer accountability. #HumanLifeStandard #GrossForMayor

Transit access is civic access. The Metro Stability & DC Free-Fare Act phases in free bus service for seniors, students & underused corridors; monthly scorecards track reliability. #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

Homicides fell 274 (2023) to 187 (2024), then ~32% in 2025-even as MPD’s sworn force shrank. The Integrated Emergency Services Command Act coordinates agencies’ emergency response. #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

Chronic absenteeism: ~10% (2014-15) → ~30% (2023-24). Only 1 in 5 meet college-ready SAT benchmarks. ABCs of Learning Act: attendance, behavior, course performance catch problems early. #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard

If the system is working, the public should be able to see it. The District Transparency Act and Standardized AI Dashboard Act put response times and service metrics on public dashboards in real time. #HLS #GrossForMayor

Nearly 5,000 unhoused. 32 affordable homes per 100 extremely low-income families: a 37,000-home shortfall. Nearly 1 in 3 renters pay over half their income. H.S.ERAP matches vouchers to household need. #GrossForMayor #HLS

We reject a false choice: eco-socialism vs. capitalism. Government ensures sustainability, accountability & equal opportunity; markets fuel innovation & prosperity. Purpose, not profit. #HumanLifeStandard #PurposeNotProfit

This city does not have a resource problem. It has a systems problem. The Human Life Standard asks: do decisions measurably improve residents’ quality of life, stability, dignity, and opportunity? #HLS #GrossForMayor

Youngest candidate in the race, building our future, recognizing the past DC, and embracing the new. These 3 things aren't a contradiction. They're the point. #GenZLeadership #GrossForMayor #HumanLifeStandard
