At my office, we work every day to ensure that District residents are protected. We do this by standing up for vulnerable residents, enforcing the laws of the District, defending and providing legal advice to the District’s government agencies, and protecting the interests of our city’s residents.

This weekend, many of us will get to spend a long weekend with loved ones, taking in the last days of summer.

During that time, let’s remember what Labor Day is about. On this day, we celebrate the hardworking men and women across the District and the country who help keep our communities running. And we honor the unions that help these workers come together to have their voices heard in the workplace.
