Defend D.C. and Fight Back
In Congress, Robert will build stronger partnerships with local and regional elected officials and grassroots organizations across our city to confront Trump’s attacks on D.C., protect Washingtonians from ICE and unaccountable federal agents, safeguard our local budget, and defend our right to govern ourselves. Together, we will fight Trump and his allies in Congress as they attempt to use D.C. as a testing ground for their radical right-wing agenda.
-
Make D.C. Affordable for Working People
The people who make D.C. work should be able to afford to call it home. Robert will leverage every tool available to him in Congress to fight for affordable housing, accessible healthcare, excellent schools, reliable childcare, lower household costs, and good-paying jobs. Robert’s goal is a city where hard work is rewarded, families can put down roots, and every Washingtonian has a real opportunity to thrive.

Win Statehood and Defend Democracy
The fight for D.C. statehood is a fight for the future of American democracy. Robert will mobilize Washingtonians, help elect a Congress prepared to stop Trump’s attacks, and build the national coalition required to secure full representation, self-government, and statehood. D.C. is not asking America to save us. Give us the voice, freedom, and power we have earned, and Washingtonians will help lead America forward.

Lowering the cost of living and building economic mobility by launching a bold D.C. Forward Economic Plan to secure federal resources for affordable housing, workforce development, and jobs—particularly for residents without college degrees.
Making D.C. safer and stronger by partnering with local and federal officials to address crime and invest in youth programs that create real opportunities that prevent violence – before it starts.
Protecting local control and the future of D.C. by building powerful coalitions within Congress and with national alliances to stop harmful federal interference, and to fight for statehood, ensuring D.C. finally has a say as other cities and states in America.
Robert believes every D.C. resident deserves the chance to build a stable future. That means investing in affordable housing, good-paying jobs, and schools that prepare our children for tomorrow. His focus is on creating upward mobility and breaking down barriers so every family can dream bigger and achieve more.
In Congress, Robert will fight for statehood autonomy and fight back against Trump’s attacks on D.C.
ISSUES
Robert's Top Priority in Congress.
Robert’s top priority is fighting for D.C. statehood and ensuring that Washingtonians finally have the same voice as every American across the country. He will work every day to protect our right to self-governance and secure full representation in Congress.
Public Safety
Robert believes in balancing accountability with prevention. He will invest in youth programs and opportunities that prevent crime before it starts, while making sure there are meaningful consequences for serious offenses.
Education
Robert knows strong schools are the foundation of opportunity. He will fight for federal funding that supports D.C. teachers, improves classrooms, and prepares our children for the jobs of tomorrow.
Fighting for Statehood
For too long, Washingtonians have been denied full representation in Congress. Robert is running to change that. He will fight for D.C. statehood, defend local control from federal interference, and ensure our residents finally have the same rights as every other American. Robert will work to build powerful coalitions in Congress and across the country to stop destructive overreach. He will protect local laws from being overturned and make sure D.C. has the freedom to govern itself.
Economic Opportunity and Lower Costs
Robert is committed to building pathways to the middle class for every resident. From affordable housing to small business growth, he’ll fight to make sure D.C. is a place where families can thrive, not just get by. That’s why Robert’s bold “D.C. Forward Economic Plan” aims to bring federal resources into the city to make housing more affordable, develop the workforce, and create good-paying jobs, especially for residents without college degrees.
Fairness and Equity
Robert is committed to dismantling barriers that hold families back. That means defending workers’ rights, addressing housing insecurity, and making sure no one is left behind—whether renters, working families, or seniors.
