ዲሲ የኪራይ ማረጋጊያን (rent stabilization) ከ1975 በኋላ የተገነቡ ህንፃዎችን ጨምሮ ተጨማሪ ቤቶችን እንዲሸፍን ማስፋት አለባት።

Pledges to close loopholes landlords use to circumvent rent stabilization — no renovictions, no bad-faith vacancy filings. Does not specifically call for expanding coverage to buildings built after 1975; her focus is strengthening enforcement of existing protections.

MPD በዲሲ ውስጥ በሚካሄዱ የኢሚግሬሽን ማስከበር ሥራዎች ላይ ICE ን ወይም ሌሎች የፌደራል ኤጀንሲዎችን መርዳት የለበትም።

Her entire career has centered on protecting immigrant communities: she secured $10 million for DC's Immigration Justice Legal Services Grant Program, expanded STAY DC housing stability for immigrant families, and led multilingual vaccine outreach in hard-to-reach neighborhoods. Per The 51st, she is outspoken against MPD collaboration with ICE and federal immigration agents.

እያንዳንዱ የዲሲ የመንግሥት ትምህርት ቤት የተወሰነ የባህሪ ጤና ባለሙያ (behavioral health clinician) በሠራተኝነት ሊኖረው ይገባል።

At the WTU Ward 1 education forum, asked to name a central-office function to cut and a school-based role to fund, she said she would 'get the middleman out' and redirect money to school-based supports — 'more counselors, more therapists, more librarians, more nurses — that is what is needed right now.' In the teacher-retention discussion she also backed mental health supports and wellness resources. Supports expanding school-based behavioral health staffing, though she did not commit to a dedicated clinician in every school.

ዲሲ ተጨማሪ የተጠበቁ የብስክሌት መንገዶችን እና ለአውቶቡስ የተወሰኑ መንገዶችን (bus lanes) መገንባት አለባት።

At the Bike, Walk & Bus PAC transportation forum she backed completing Ward 1's bike network — 'close the gaps, identify gaps in Ward One and the bike network' — and pledged to fully fund Vision Zero, working closely with DOT to keep projects from being pushed out of the ward. Supportive, but emphasizes community input, readable and bilingual signage, and 'sharing the streets' (noting cyclists should use bike lanes rather than sidewalks) more than aggressive lane expansion.

የዲሲ አውቶቡሶች ለሁሉም ተጓዦች ከክፍያ ነፃ (fare-free) መሆን አለባቸው።

Supports expanding free transit but not universally: building on kids-ride-free, she favors making buses free 'partial, like the rush hours' for working families commuting and on late shifts, pending a real study — rather than free for all riders — warning that making 'everything for free' risks a budget deficit. A qualified, targeted position rather than support for universal fare-free buses.

ዲሲ ነጠላ-ቤተሰብ-ብቻ የዞን ገደቦችን በማስወገድ አፓርትመንቶችን እና 'የጎደለ-መሃል' ቤትን (ድብል፣ ትሪፕል እና ትናንሽ ባለ-ብዙ ቤተሰብ ህንፃዎች) በመላ ከተማው ሕጋዊ ማድረግ አለባት።

At the Bike, Walk & Bus PAC transportation forum, asked about transit-oriented development, she did not back building new housing near transit — 'we don't have to create no more housing, we have to expand on what we have already.' She would instead focus on rehabilitating existing vacant and decaying apartments (citing Columbia Heights) and strengthening rent control (untouched since 1985), working with the Office of Planning on what is already in the pipeline. A notable contrast with the other Ward 1 candidates, who back upzoning to add housing near transit.

ዲሲ የተደጎመ የህፃናት እንክብካቤን ወደ ሁሉን አቀፍ ፕሮግራም ማስፋት አለባት — ለሁሉም የዲሲ ነዋሪዎች ምንም ይሁን ገቢያቸው የሚገኝ — በPre-K ማሻሻያ እና ማስፋፊያ ፕሮግራም (PKEEP) ላይ በመገንባት።

Calls for 'affordable, high-quality child care for every Ward 1 child, regardless of family income — no waitlists, no exceptions' from birth to 36 months. Includes educator salary supplements to at least $22/hour. Would expand subsidy eligibility to 150% AMI and build new childcare facilities in underutilized District-owned and private properties.

ዲሲ ለዲስትሪክት ቤተሰቦች ከልደት እስከ ሦስት ዓመት ድረስ ነፃ፣ ጥራት ያለው የህፃናት እንክብካቤ — ምንም የመጠባበቂያ ዝርዝር (waitlist) ሳይኖር — ዋስትና መስጠት አለባት።

Platform headline pledge: 'Affordable, high-quality child care from birth to 36 months… for every Ward 1 child, regardless of family income. No waitlists. No exceptions.' Pairs it with educator pay supplements to at least $22/hour and new infant-toddler facilities in District-owned and private spaces.

ዲሲ በትናንሽ እና በአካባቢ ንግዶች ላይ ግብርና ክፍያዎችን መቀነስ አለባት — እንደ የትንሽ ችርቻሮ ንብረት ግብር ቅናሽ ያለ እፎይታ መስጠትን ጨምሮ — እንዲከፈቱ፣ እንዲቀጥሉ እና እንዲያድጉ ለመርዳት።

Headlines her platform 'NO MORE TAXES FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES' and calls herself 'the only candidate focused on growing our economy without raising taxes, by investing in our local entrepreneurs.' Proposes a dedicated Ward 1 Small Business Activation grant fund ($5,000–$50,000), a one-stop business solutions hub, and a Small Business First Right of Purchase for vacant storefronts.

ዲሲ የወጣቶችን ወንጀል ለመቀነስ መሣሪያ አድርጋ ለአካለ መጠን ላልደረሱ የሰዓት እላፊ (curfew) ማስከበር አለባት።

Explicitly states: 'Unfortunately, at this moment, a curfew for youth under 18 is necessary to protect our communities and keep the District safe.' Frames it as a temporary protective measure paired with youth employment and programming investment.

ምንጮች፦ [Policy Platform — Jackie Reyes Yanes for Ward 1]

ማንኛውም የወጣቶች የሰዓት እላፊ ለወጣቶች በአማራጭ ፕሮግራም ላይ — ሥራዎች፣ የመዝናኛ ማዕከላት፣ የአእምሮ ጤና አገልግሎቶች — ከፍተኛ ኢንቨስትመንት ጋር መታጀብ አለበት።

Pairs her curfew support with guaranteed summer and after-school jobs for every Ward 1 young person who wants one, year-round programming in parks and plazas (movies, markets, sports leagues), and the paid Community Ambassador Corps that pairs seniors with youth ages 18–24. Says 'a teen with a job, a paycheck, and a mentor is the most effective crime prevention strategy we have.'

ዲሲ የዲስትሪክቱን የበጀት ክፍተት ለመዝጋት በትላልቅ ኮርፖሬሽኖች እና በሀብታም ነዋሪዎች ላይ ግብር ማሳደግ አለባት።

Headlines her platform 'NO MORE TAXES FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES' and frames herself as 'the only candidate focused on growing our economy without raising taxes, by investing in our local entrepreneurs.' Prefers grant programs and economic activation over tax hikes, though her anti-tax focus is primarily directed at local businesses.

ዲሲ በከተማ አስተዳደር ላይ ለሚደረግ የትራምፕ አስተዳደር ጣልቃ ገብነት ጸጥ ካለ ዲፕሎማሲ ወይም ተግባራዊ ድርድር ይልቅ በቆራጥ፣ ይፋዊ አቋም — ክስ በመመስረት፣ የጥበቃ ሕጎችን በማጽደቅ እና ሕገ-ወጥ የፌደራል ትዕዛዞችን ለመፈጸም በመቃወም — ምላሽ መስጠት አለባት።

Her career has centered on protecting DC's immigrant communities from federal harm — securing $10 million for the Immigration Justice Legal Services Grant Program and opposing MPD collaboration with federal immigration agents. She is protective of immigrant residents, but her platform focuses on service delivery and legal defense rather than a broader confrontational posture toward the White House.
