On November 6, 2018, Muriel Bowser became the first woman ever re-elected as the Mayor of Washington, DC and the first mayor to earn a second term in 16 years. In 2020, Washington, DC is home to 705,000 people across 68 square miles, has a AAA bond rating, and an annual budget of more than $15 billion. Like county executives, Mayor Bowser runs the local jail, and, unlike most mayors, also oversees the public school system. Like governors, Mayor Bowser runs Medicaid, issues driver’s licenses, and has tax authority. Washington, DC is unique in the American political system - the mayor, DC’s chief executive, functions as a governor, county executive, and mayor. Her administration is focused on making DC’s prosperity more inclusive, advancing DC values, and building safer, stronger, and healthier neighborhoods across DC’s eight wards. Muriel Bowser is committed to making sure every Washingtonian gets a fair shot in a growing and prosperous Washington, DC.
