I’m thrilled to share that Greater Greater Washington has officially endorsed my write-in candidacy for ANC 7E04!
Our neighborhood deserves dedicated advocacy on the issues that affect us daily—from improving bus and transit reliability along Benning Road and East Capitol Street, to pushing for safer pedestrian crossings and equitable housing investments.
Thank you to the @ggwash.official team for recognizing my lived experience, tenacity, and commitment to listening to and amplifying the voices of ANC 7E04 residents.
How to vote:
When filling out your ballot, go to the ANC 7E04 section, select “Write-in,” and clearly write Patricia Stamper.
Let’s build a safer, more connected, and better-served community together!

How does 1 unit of gas cost $20.55 when I haven’t cooked since April? 🛑
I’m looking directly at my Washington Gas bill. My previous meter reading was 2,354. My current reading is 2,355. That is 1 CCF of consumption. I haven’t turned on my stove to cook a single meal all month—yet my bill is $20.55.
Look at this line-item breakdown:
Customer Charge
Distribution Charge
Pipe Adjustment
Natural Gas Supply
Right-of-Way Fee
Delivery Tax
Are we paying for actual gas, or are we paying high connection fees and corporate surcharges because doing business costs more? Are those corporate operational expenses being directly shifted onto the customer?
This isn’t just about my bill. It’s about transparency for every resident in the District—whether you own or rent. Utility costs are surging while our wages remain stagnant.
Look at the regional economic landscape: hundreds of thousands of Black and Latina women across the DC-Maryland-Virginia region have been displaced from the workforce in recent years. In a city with a total population of around 770,000 residents, that loss of economic stability is staggering. People are overworked, underpaid, or searching for work, while everyday basic survival costs keep rising.
We need answers and oversight. How are utility rates approved, and who is @votemendo @mdc_dsa @dcdemocrats @cmwendellfelder

In @brotherhoodmusical we're given the opportunity to know Fabián as a brother alongside his neighbor, Jon.

Despite 17 years next door, Jon had never really asked himself: What does it mean to love your neighbor?

The powerfu voicel of @martinezmau allows audiences to feel Fabián's dreams and fears.

Brotherhood: a Cinematic Musical comes to select theaters nationwide on October 9.

Your neighbors and our children need you to be involved in resisting hate and building a just future.

Do whatever you can, wherever you can, as much as you can and support those around you who are trying to do the same for the immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and their families throughout this area and our country who are being targeted with cruelty by the U.S. government.

Thank you Center Faith of the DC LGBTQ+ Community Center for coordinating the 43rd Interfaith Pride Service in our nation's capital and to St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill for hosting.

We are blessed by so many siblings, elders, and ancestors who have made this expression of dignity and Divine Love a steadfast sign of welcome and hope in our community despite the efforts of some who cannot grasp the depth and beauty of the Creator's genius.

We must commit to always #CHOOSELOVE
❤️🧡💛💚💙🩷💜🤍🖤🩶
