I’m running for D.C.’s Delegate to Congress to fight for statehood, safety, and real results!
For too long, Congress has used D.C. as a political prop while we’ve gone without full representation. I won’t sit quietly—I’ll fight every day for our families. Join us: www.deirdrefordc.com

Today, I announced that I am suspending my campaign for Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives.
I’m grateful to everyone who supported this effort. While the campaign ends, my commitment to DC does not. I’ll continue fighting for DC statehood, Home Rule, and DC residents.

I was raised on a union worker’s salary. Right behind me, workers took on a billion-dollar corporation and won. If Starbucks baristas can build real power, why is Congress still blocking DC workers from having a vote in the laws that shape our lives?

When ERAP reopened, hundreds of D.C. residents lined up in the cold for a chance to stay housed. This is why I’m running for Delegate: to bring federal housing dollars home and fight for the autonomy our city deserves.
Join our movement. Representation matters.

Grateful to join the panel after the DC Battlefront screening to talk about #DCStatehood and the long, uncomfortable truth: race has always shaped who gets full rights in this country, and who doesn’t. Our fight is historic, urgent, & far from over.

Our veterans kept their promise to America; now it’s time for America to keep its promise to them. I’ll fight to make sure D.C. veterans get the same healthcare, housing, and support as veterans in every state.
