Dream City is back
👋 Mid-week episode alert.
We just interviewed Kenyan McDuffie, who’s in a close contest with council member Janeese Lewis George to be D.C.’s next mayor.
This is our longest episode yet — and we hope you’ll appreciate the wide-ranging discussion, as you consider how to vote ahead of the June 16 Democratic primary. Remember, timestamps are your friend — feel free to jump around.
I wrote in Axios D.C. exclusively this morning with the interview’s headline takeaways.

McDuffie talked about growing up in Stronghold during the crack epidemic, losing friends to gun violence, and how those experiences shaped his political career.
We pressed McDuffie on his promise to make D.C. “the most affordable city in the U.S.” Plus, we talked about why he wants to get rid of “predatory” speed cameras, what he’d say to President Trump, and his public safety record.
And the criticisms that he hasn’t been more out front…
If you enjoy the conversation, share it with a friend. It helps Dream City grow and bring more big interviews.
