    Janeese Lewis George Talks Affordability, Education, and Policing
    May 21 2026
    We’re talking with Janeese Lewis George. According to our new City Cast poll, she’s leading the race for mayor. We talked about how she really thinks about public safety, how she wants to spend more on our safety net, and how it feels to be a Democratic Socialist candidate whose support comes from some of DC’s best-educated and newest residents.

    May 20 2026
    There have been no citywide public polls of the DC mayor’s race. That changes today. I’m here with Giacomo Squatriti, one of the pollsters who conducted City Cast’s very own poll — which is full of jaw-dropping findings about the state of the mayoral race, DC’s new demographic divide, and the ways new Washingtonians are shaping this year’s vote. We are SO excited to dive into this – and there’s more coverage for you to check out on our website and in our newsletter this morning. Want some more DC news?
