Washington, DC | May 5, 2025

“[W]e will bring our policies in line with the region by restoring DC’s previous tipped minimum wage law…we will be moving to repeal I-82. 
…
We are a hospitality based economy. Following the federal government, it’s the hospitality industry that allows people to buy homes, put their kids through college, live here, and afford to live here. If restaurants close, there are no jobs.” 

Initiative 82 is discussed beginning at approximately 17:19.
