IMPORTANT DC COUNCIL CONTACTS

The council (https://dccouncil.gov/) has a new member for Ward 7 and has established its committees for Council period 26 beginning in January 2025.

Councilmember Janeese Lewis George will continue chairing the committee that oversees the Department on Disability Services (DDS) along with other important agencies.  Formerly the Committee on Facilities and Family Services, it now will have the briefer (and slightly inappropriate) name of the Committee on Facilities.  The committee membership will include:

Janeese Lewis George (Ward 4), chair

jlewisgeorge@dccouncil.gov

Brianne Nadeau (Ward 1)
bnadeau@dccouncil.gov

Matthew Frumin (Ward 3)
mfrumin@dccouncil.gov

Christina Henderson (At-Large)
chenderson@dccouncil.gov

Although Lewis George, Nadeau and Frumin are continuing members, the addition of Henderson is meaningful since she chairs the Committee on Health which oversees other entities, such as the Department of Behavioral Health, that have meaningful impacts on people with disabilities in DC. 

Other members of the council are:

Phil Mendelson (Council chair, At-Large)
