Kevin's family has a longstanding tradition of public service in Washington, D.C., dating back generations.

Continuing the legacy, his great-grandfather, Thomas, provided essential services to Capitol Hill through his horse-drawn milk delivery business.
Kevin’s Commitments
🔹🚔 Tackling Crime Head-On 🚔🔹
Firm on effective results rather than mere appearances, Kevin is committed to a comprehensive crime reduction strategy. This includes overhauling our forensic crime lab and call centers, modernizing outdated systems, and ensuring that our police are fully authorized and supported to take decisive action.
Under his leadership, community support systems will also be strengthened and restrategized, recognizing their crucial role in preventing crime and maintaining public safety. With these changes, the presence of violent criminals on our streets will be significantly reduced, making safety a concrete achievement for our community.
"DC must not only capture criminals but also efficiently process and charge those already apprehended. While law enforcement is crucial for safety, sustained results require a holistic approach.”
🔹🎓 Empowering Education for Every Child 🎓🔹
Kevin is committed to enhancing the connection between teachers and students through creative training and comprehensive support programs, ensuring all students are equipped to thrive academically. He supports opt-in programs with extended hours and shortened summer breaks.
He is dedicated to supporting single parents with substantial resources and assistance. Recognizing the urgent need for more school counselors, Kevin plans to consolidate resources to guarantee every child fair access.
He believes teachers should have the best possible conditions to excel and inspire. Together, we can transform education into a vibrant, inclusive arena where every student succeeds.

With over 20 years in business and real estate, and as Vice Chair of ANC5E, Kevin's leadership is proven. He's deeply invested in transformative projects like the McMillan Development and champions healthy sustainable urban living - not only advocating for it but also embodying it through his his commitment to public transportation, fitness and healthy lifestyle choices.
