@miguelward1.bsky.social would be the first Latino council member in DC history. Think about that. Almost 15% of our population is Latine and they are underrepresented with not ONE council member that can speak Spanish or understand their experiences. Our immigrant neighbors deserve representation.

This is important!! It means that our ANC members of W1 who really understand the requirements of council members, trust @miguelward1.bsky.social to lead in that position.

Still deciding how to vote? I get it. You have a lot of great choices here in Ward 1 — and this year, you get to rank them! Here’s why I hope to earn your #1 vote! Head to my website for more information: miguelward1.com/voting-info

Incredible what flowing water can do to transform a space. The people are back at Malcolm X Park and it’s beautiful.

Thank you to Adam, Bradley, and David for hosting a fabulous meet-and-greet for me and @rashidaforward1.bsky.social! I loved speaking with voters about what matters most to them and how they envision the future of Ward 1. These conversations are exactly why I'm running.

As your Councilmember, I look forward to using my ANC experience to roll up my sleeves and turn progressive policy into action on day 1. Like @zachisrael.bsky.social says, make sure to rank me #1 this June!

It's so encouraging to hear from people who care deeply about the future of Ward 1. I am proud to be running a campaign that prioritizes affordable homes, vibrant neighborhoods, and constituent services.

I am deeply committed to protecting and advancing LGBTQ+ rights in the District, especially in this moment when so much progress has been threatened. As a Councilmember, I will work to make DC a safe and accepting place for everyone. Get involved: miguelward1.com

Thank you for your support, @stonewalldems51.bsky.social! I am thrilled to have received the largest number of votes in the Ward 1 endorsement process. I was also honored to join CSD earlier this year as they celebrated 50 years of indispensable advocacy for our community in DC.

With ballots arriving any day now, it’s a good time to highlight one of the best reasons to support @miguelward1.bsky.social There are 40 ANC Comms. in Ward 1 (not counting Miguel or Rashida) 25 have donated to at least one candidate 21 have donated to Miguel! (11 to Rashida, 2 to Aparna)

www.advocate.com/politics/ele... “.. In this system now, we can combine electoral power and augment each other and build coalitions to win.” @miguelfordc.bsky.social for Ward One!!! I support his commitment to relationships-based leadership and holistic understanding of systems. You should too.

This gay D.C. Council candidate wants Washington to live up to its progressive image

Miguel Trindade Deramo is running on a message of institutional trust, community safety, and the belief that values mean little without implementation.

I’m turning (gasp) 40! Can you help me celebrate my birthday tomorrow by donating today? Tonight is a big fundraising deadline for our campaign — it’s our last chance to have donations matched 5 times by the city before Election Day. That means every dollar really counts!

With mail-in ballots on the way to all 45,000+ Ward 1 Dem voters, I’m encouraging folks to rank @miguelward1.bsky.social #1 in the Ward 1 CM Democratic primary! I’ve been impressed with Miguel’s track record as an ANC commissioner and he deserves your support: miguelward1.com

Come say hi at Porchfest today! Stop by my table at 1716 Lanier Pl NW to learn a bit more about my campaign while we listen to some fantastic music. My team will be there from 2-5, and I will be there starting at 3:30. See you soon!

I’m not satisfied with progressive ideas that get stuck on paper. I’m running to be Ward 1’s next Councilmember because I want to work block by block to make them real.

Allow me to reintroduce myself: I’m a pro-democracy organizer, the Chairman of ANC 1B, and the proud son of an immigrant family. I'm also the most pro-housing candidate in this race.

@miguelfordc.bsky.social has the skills and knowledge to build more housing in DC ethically and responsibly while prioritizing fundamental human rights and a holistic view.

Miguel for Ward 1@miguelward1.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I’m thrilled to receive the support of @dcyimbys.bsky.social #1 rank in their Ward 1 endorsement! I strongly believe housing is a human right, though we can’t guarantee access to housing that does not exist.

This week, I sat down with Hillary Howard on Sunrise on the Hill/DC News Now to share why @rashidaforward1.bsky.social and I are cross-endorsing each other in this exciting race.

As a former Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner myself, it’s pretty awesome to see the only ANC commissioners in the Ward 1 CM primary officially cross-endorse each other! Having the lived experience as an ANC commissioner is extremely helpful for ward-level CMs!

It’s official — we’re making history! As @citycastdc.bsky.social reported, “Two Ward 1 candidates are teaming up in an unusual alliance — and urging voters to rank them both — in one of the clearest signs yet that ranked choice voting is reshaping D.C. campaigns.” dc.citycast.fm/dc-politics/...

Two D.C. Council candidates form alliance in historic first - City Cast DC

The partnership shows how ranked choice voting is reshaping traditional campaign strategy.

Soy orgullosamente hijo de una familia de migrantes brasileños. Sé lo que está en juego para nuestras comunidades de migrantes, y me postulo para hacer algo al respecto.

Don’t miss it! Join me at 5 PM TODAY for the Capitol Stonewall Democrats’ virtual Ward 1 candidate forum to hear exactly how I’m fighting for DC’s LGBTQ+ community 🌈 RSVP: events.hovercast.com/e/stonewall-...

If you're pro-streatery, pro-housing, pro-bike, and pro-transit, you'll love my platform! And today is a great day to support the campaign. Max contribution allowed is only $50, and DC matches *five-to-one* what I raise from DC residents. Let's go 🚀 secure.actblue.com/donate/migue...

I’m pro-bike because I live it. I sold my car years ago and have never been happier. We’re a bike-friendly city but we still have a long way to go 🚴🏽 Let’s deliver safe streets and efficient transit worthy of the nation’s capital. Ⓜ️#️⃣1️⃣

Ward 1 #bikeDC voters, this race is wide open so consider voting at this endorsement meeting Saturday for the biggest pro-biking champion in our council race Miguel Trindade Deramo. Aparna Raj is also really great, and Rashida Brown worth a look. This is a good opportunity to impact the election.
