Standing For

  • Safe Streets

    People of all ages should be able to get to work, school, and everywhere else without worry.

  • Housing

    Edgewood is a great place to live. All residents, old and new, should be able to live and thrive here.

  • Infrastructure

    Everyone deserves access to safe, high-quality modes of transit for commuting and recreation.

Accomplishments

Over my previous term I've been active in the community and the District, advocating for our corner of Ward 5. No matter how small, I've fought for it.

I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve 5F02 in 2025!

  • Closed the MBT Gap

    The Metropolitan Branch Trail is the backbone of Ward 5, and a vital asset to our neighborhood. I completed the work started by my predecessors, collaborating with neighbors, DDOT, and Councilmember Parker to make 8th Street NE, and the MBT, safe for all.

  • Advocated for Public Safety

    Commissioner Sahni, MPD, and members of the public discussing safety concerns.

    As DC experienced a surging public safety crisis, I connected neighbors with MPD, held public safety walks, and fought for city resources to keep our neighbors safe.

  • Fought for Safer Streets

    Commissioner Sahni explaining neighborhood foot traffic to members of DDOT's Vision Zero task force, council representatives, and construction management.

    With reckless driving on the rise, I've secured major street safety improvements: the 8th Street NE overhaul, speed humps, protected east-west bike connectivity, crosswalk striping and daylighting, and crossing guards for schools. Beyond our SMD, I've pushed DDOT for a safer Rhode Island Avenue and chaired ANC 5F's Transportation and Public Spaces committee.

  • Served the Neighborhood

    Commissioner Sahni testifying about neighborhood concerns at a DDOT oversight hearing.

    The District government doesn't always get it right. When city services have failed or surprised our neighbors, I've stepped in to resolve issues. I've also worked with local businesses to address their challenges, and removed obstacles to bring a grocer to Monroe Street.

  • Built a strong ANC 5F

    Commissioner Sahni speaking at an ANC 5F meeting.

    Before redistricting, ANC 5E failed to meet its reporting and financial obligations. Together with fellow ANC 5F commissioners, I established a transparent and ethical commission. We implemented a groundbreaking hybrid meeting infrastructure, transparent noticing and reporting practices, and efficient management of taxpayer funds. Our efforts have set a standard for what a good commission should be.
