Welcome

Friends,

I am proud to represent Ward One, the most diverse ward in the District of Columbia.
 
Here you will find information on city services and the policies I've pursued in my more than 10 years of service to the people of our ward. We also have hundreds of photos from events around the ward as well as new videos.
 
Also, stay informed with news about Ward One with Jim’s Journal.
 
We’ve accomplished much in the ward in 10 years. Working together, we have made Ward One a better place to live.

Arrest in Murder of Oscar Fuentes and Donations to the Family

The Mayor, MPD Chief Cathy Lanier and I announed the arrest in the murder of 9-year-old Oscar Fuentes this morning. 

 Josue Pena, was arrested at 5:30 a.m. this morning in Hyattsville, Md. He is a known associate of the MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha) gang which was active in Oscar's buildings.  
 This has been a very emotional time for me, my staff and all of Ward One, but more importantly, devastating for Oscar's family. The family and survivors would appreciate donations.
 Donations may be sent to my office - 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Suite 105, Washington D.C. 20004.  All checks should be
made out to M. Fuentes.

New Editions in Columbia Heights Celebrating its Heritage

 

On September 24, we opened the new Columbia Heights Plaza. Just one month later, we unveiled the Columbia Heights Heritage Trail. The trail details our history through the neighborhood's more than 100-year history. The CH Plaza is now a central meeting place for friends and families of Ward 1. More than a year in the making, it is the prefect enhancment to our new retail and restaurant corridor. With the groundbreaking for the new Justice Park - I, with the help of the mayor, my staff and our community and business partners - Ward One has cracked the $1 billion mark for investment along the 14 Street Cooridor alone.
