Washington, DC, Council member Janeese Lewis George, a Democratic Socialist, launched her campaign for mayor of the nation’s capital on Monday – and she’s reportedly seeking to emulate Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral bid.
Lewis George, 37, is seeking to replace DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who announced last week that she would not seek re-election to a fourth term.
“Rent’s rising in homes people can’t afford. Folks are working hard and still feeling the squeeze, while the few in power rake in profits,” Lewis George said in a video announcing her run for mayor, echoing the rhetoric that propelled Mamdani to victory in the Big Apple.
“And now our neighbors, our families, are under attack because we are failing to stand up to defend them,” the council member continued, as images of federal agents arresting people on the street played in the background.
“That’s not the D.C., I know. That’s why I’m running for mayor,” Lewis George declared. “Because it’s time we had leaders who fight for the people who stand up to corruption and greed and stand with the people who make D.C. work.”
Axios reported last month that Lewis George was aiming to build a 5,000-members strong volunteer army to knock on doors and phone bank.
Her campaign was also hoping to bring on one of the Mamdani campaign’s top top digital advisers and target young voters online and on TikTok.
Lewis George has served on the DC Council since 2021.
She was endorsed by the DC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who congratulated “our chapter member” after her 2020 victory in the Ward 4 election.

Vegas odds?
Shall NY folks clap and wish this on DC as so many did Mamdani? This one won’t. The cancer needs to be cut out, now. Unfortunately, the patient is as crazy as Democrat Joe Biden and the media will once again keep telling US this is the best version of Joe ever. It will be interesting to see if an Islamist also enters the race or this creature also turns into a watermelon.
We need to start up the helicopters.
What is going on? Does anyone doubt D.C. will go Communist? Why will the country not ban Communism? Is Communism now an acceptable form of governing in the U.S.? Communists in concert with Islamists are slowly gaining control over America before our very eyes.
Be done with this failed experiment. Do NOT give democrats the chance to manufacture two new raging leftist Senators from this steaming cesspool.
Fixed it...
Janeese?
What kind of name is THAT? Umm.... wait... yup.
Our side better wake up, and fast!
Lifelong closeted socialists are coming out, because they can see the end in sight.
All their lives they could never admit they were socialists, but now can say it out loud, and they are excited because they think they are on the verge of achieving everything they’ve wanted. And the thing is, the candidate doesn’t matter, as long as they have a “D” next to their name, they will be motivated to vote for them.
All politics is national now.
Unfortunately it would take legislation. This would need to be repealed.
