FIGHTING FOR WORKING FAMILIES. DELIVERING REAL RESULTS FOR DC.

Dyana Forester, a DC native, public school parent,  leader, and longtime community advocate, is running to make sure Washington, DC works for everyday people, not just the powerful.

​

Together, we can build a city where families can afford to live, workers earn fair wages, neighborhoods are safe, and every child has a real opportunity to succeed.

​

A LEADER ROOTED IN DC

A proud DC Native and Ward 7 homeowner. I’ve lived in nearly every ward, raised my family here, and built my career fighting for the people who keep this city running.

I know what it means to work hard, juggle bills, worry about rent, and want better for your children. That’s not a talking point, that’s real life for thousands of families in our city.

​

And it’s why I’ve spent my life in public service.

​

PROVEN RESULTS FOR WORKING PEOPLE

​

Dyana doesn’t just talk about change, she delivers it.

As a community and housing advocate, Dyana has lead campaigns to: 

• Raise wages for working people
   

• Passed Paid Family Medical Leave
   

• Protect affordable housing
   

• Push for safer, stronger neighborhoods
   

• Stand up for workers when powerful interests tried to silence them
   

She has served as an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner and Housing Authority Commissioner, always putting residents first and fighting for transparency and accountability.

Leadership isn’t about titles.
It’s about getting results that improve people’s lives.

​

WHAT DYANA WILL FIGHT FOR

​

Affordable Housing You Can Actually Afford

No family should be priced out of the city they built. Dyana will expand affordable housing, protect renters, and create pathways to homeownership.

​

Good Jobs and Fair Wages

Working people deserve dignity and economic security. Dyana will fight for strong labor protections, job training, and wages that keep up with the cost of living.

​

Safe, Strong Neighborhoods

Public safety and community trust go hand in hand. Dyana supports smart investments in violence prevention, accountability, and resources that strengthen families.

Schools That Work for Every Child

Every child deserves access to quality education, safe facilities, and opportunities to thrive, no matter their ZIP code.

​

A Government That Works for You

Dyana believes in transparency, accountability, and leadership that listens first, not politics as usual.

​

WHY DYANA

Because she understands DC, not just the politics, but the people.

• She’s a part of the community

• She’s fought in the rooms where decisions get made.

• She’s stood shoulder to shoulder with workers, seniors, and families who just want a fair shot.​

​

This campaign isn’t about insiders. It’s about building a DC where working families can stay, grow, and succeed.
