Making D.C. Better, for Everyone.

Elissa is running in the at-large special election to continue her work to make Washington, D.C., a community where people can afford to raise a family, open successful businesses, start careers, and retire in dignity. When she served on the D.C. Council from 2015 to 2023, she was the lead champion for D.C.’s paid family leave program, which has benefitted tens of thousands of workers. She was an ally to local business owners, helping reduce red tape and appropriating millions in aid during the COVID-19 pandemic. And she has always been a committed fighter to keep the D.C. government responsive and accountable to taxpayers.
