“East of the river has always been rich in promise — but too often overlooked when it comes to consistent investment. In Ward 8, pathways to prosperity have felt just out of reach for far too many. Opportunity DC is helping change that by ensuring our voices are centered in how the city grows. With pragmatic, accountable leadership, we can turn that promise into real economic opportunity — so Ward 8 rises alongside the rest of DC, not behind it.”

Ward 8 Civic Leader & Small Business Owner

“As a parent and PTO leader, I see every day how much families rely on strong schools and responsive city services. What matters most to me is that local government stays focused on delivering real results—safe communities, well-supported classrooms, and systems that actually work for families. We have an incredible city, and with thoughtful, accountable leadership, we can make it even better.”

Lex Johnstone
Stoddert Elementary PTO President

“The prosperity we enjoy in the District of Columbia was built by leaders guided by evidence and empathy, not rigid ideology. Opportunity DC is carrying that mission forward, ensuring our city remains a world-class example of shared success and effective governance. Their focus on pragmatic solutions is exactly what DC needs to navigate our current economic and fiscal challenges.”

Anthony Williams
Former Mayor of Washington, DC

Our Impact

Since Opportunity DC’s inception in 2021, our campaigns for sensible policies and pragmatic candidates have helped pass new laws and reforms at the DC Council. We’ve successfully made the case for smarter government regulations and less red tape from DC agencies. And we have informed and mobilized voters across all 8 wards to elect citywide officials, councilmembers, and neighborhood leaders who share our community’s points of view.
