Mayor-elect Janeese Lewis George is preparing to usher in a new era of Washington, D.C., politics, outlining an ambitious legislative agenda and transition plans Wednesday after winning the seat to become the city’s first socialist mayor.
Lewis George, 38, easily won Tuesday’s general election, following her decisive victory in the June Democratic primary. She will be sworn in Jan. 2, 2027, succeeding outgoing Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has led the capital for 12 years.
