Consider this juxtaposition: In a few weeks, Washington, D.C., will be the epicenter for America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. A few months later, Washington, D.C. will likely be led by a democratic socialist for the first time ever.
As of now, democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George has a commanding lead in the Democrat Party’s primary for mayor of the nation’s capital, which occurred on June 16.
Lewis George, the first and only democratic socialist member on the DC City Council since the late 1990s, says her “people-first platform” will “improve the lives of the people in D.C. …by strategically and effectively utilizing all that the government can offer and do.”
Specifically, she wants the government to provide “childcare for all,” “affordable utilities for all,” “arts and culture for all,” “reliable transportation for all,” “good jobs for all,” and “homes for all.”
