Last month, Mayor Bowser announced her full support of Washington, DC's bid for the 2022 Gay Games! The opportunity to bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to our city and further prove that we are the nation's 'sports capital'. Attendees of the Washington Blade's "Best of Gay DC" Awards helped the Mayor create a video message in support of the bid committee.  You can view it HERE 


Congratulations to Director Sheila Alexander-Reid was voted 'Best LGBT Bureaucrat' in the Washington Blade's annual 'Best of Gay DC' awards! 

 Please be sure to sign up for Mayor Bowser's weekly newsletter to stay informed about the progress our city is making on housing, public safety and the economy.
