Your ANC single member district
6B09
My name is Karen Hughes and I am running unopposed to represent SMD 6B09, home of The Roost, Hill East Burger, Trusty’s, and the Congressional Cemetery. I hope that, as an ANC Commissioner, I will have the opportunity to represent the interests of our community in city decision-making. We can anticipate a few big projects over the next two years, including an overhaul by DDOT of the Pennsylvania x Potomac Ave intersection. Along the way, I want to advocate for pedestrian safety. I encourage my neighbors to visit my website and take a short survey: www.KarenHughesDC.com.
