Janeese Lewis George Wins D.C. Mayor Primary

Janeese Lewis George has officially won the Democratic primary for D.C. mayor, setting her up for a November showdown against Muriel Bowser. At just 38, she’s a progressive Councilmember known for championing affordable housing, lead pipe removal, and education reform — and she’s the first self-described democratic socialist on the Council since 1998. With a commanding 11-point lead in polls and key endorsements from the Working Families Party and Washington Teachers’ Union, her campaign focused on affordability, childcare, policing reform, and fighting for D.C. home rule. Now, the real battle begins as she prepares to take on Bowser in the general election — a historic moment for the city. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
