From the office of Councilmember Vincent C. Gray:
“GRAY: “I WILL NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION IN 2024”
“I Will Continue To Be an Advocate for Our City and the People Who Call It Home”
Today, the office of Ward 7 D.C. Councilmember Vincent C. Gray released the following statement from Gray:
“It has been one of the great honors of my life to serve District of Columbia residents as Ward 7 Councilmember, Council Chair and Mayor. With determination and by working together, we achieved what we set out to accomplish, overcame great challenges and, most importantly, uplifted people from all walks of life,” said Gray.
“Our mission will never be complete. Our shared desire to make the District a better place each and every day is enduring,” said Gray. “I will continue to be an advocate for our city and the people who call it home, but the time has come for me to pursue that as a private citizen. Therefore, I will not seek re-election in 2024.”
“Much work remains to be done, as does the task of ensuring continued progress on many fronts. My final year in office will be no different than any other; every day I will put my shoulder to the stone and serve the people who sent me here,” said Gray.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
