Bridget French
የWard 5 የምክር ቤት አባል — የዴሞክራቲክ ፓርቲ የመጀመሪያ ዙር ምርጫ, ጁን 16፣ 2026
በዲሲ ፍትሃዊ ምርጫ ፕሮግራም ውስጥ የለምBridget French (age 42) has called DC home for nearly 20 years. She grew up in a working-class family in Fort Lauderdale, where her parents ran a small business. After college she served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras, working with communities to protect natural resources and support sustainable economic opportunities. Early in her career, she worked on some of DC's first energy programs through the DC Sustainable Energy Utility, helping launch initiatives that reduced costs for residents and businesses across the city. Today she works with decision-makers across the country to advance practical, cost-effective energy solutions, with a focus on lowering costs and improving people's lives through good energy policy. She and her husband live in Ward 5 with their two rescue dogs. Her platform centers on three themes: lowering everyday costs (with a particular emphasis on utility bills), making DC's programs for young people and families actually work together through improved coordination and accountability across agencies ("We don't need more programs — we need the ones we already fund to actually work together"), and helping Ward 5 small businesses stay open, grow, and hire locally.

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።
Platform highlights 'Thriving Local Businesses' as a core priority: 'Small businesses are the backbone of Ward 5, but many are struggling with rising costs and barriers to growth.' Would focus on reducing barriers to operating a business and keeping commercial corridors vibrant rather than specific tax-cut proposals.
ዲሲ ወደ 100% ታዳሽ ኃይል የምታደርገውን ሽግግር በጽኑ ማፋጠን አለባት፣ በሕዝብ ህንፃዎች ላይ ሶላር በመትከል እና በጂኦተርማል እና በሌሎች ንፁህ ምንጮች ላይ ኢንቨስት በማድረግ።
Worked on DC's first energy programs through the DC Sustainable Energy Utility, helping launch initiatives that reduced costs for residents and businesses. Her energy platform is framed around 'practical, cost-effective' solutions that lower household bills, suggesting support for renewable investment primarily as a cost-reduction mechanism rather than an aggressive mandate-driven transition.
