Dear neighbors,

As you know, building a health care system that serves residents with unmet needs is one of the many priorities voiced by the Ward 7 community. Also of great importance is public safety, education, economic development, amenities, public transportation and infrastructure improvements.

As we turn our attention to the FY24 budget, I want to hear from you on how the Council should prioritize spending. Your suggestions can be formal or informal. You don't need to be a policy expert. Please let me know what's on your mind. Email your budget ideas to Ward7Budget@dccouncil.gov by the close of business on Friday, February 24th.

Thank you for being engaged in our community and the budget-making process. We are better informed when we hear your voice and understand your perspective.

In service,

Vince
