| ‘Defund the Police' champ who says police rooted in ‘white supremacy' may be socialist mayor of DC |
| 2026-06-04 |
| [Just The News] A longtime "Defund the Police" advocate who could be the next mayor of the nation’s capital has argued that American policing is "rooted in white supremacy" — and she, like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is also a member of Democratic Socialists of America. Janeese Lewis George, who won her D.C. City Council seat in 2020 with the backing of the DSA and on a "Defund the Police" platform following the George Floyd protests and riots, is now a leading contender to replace outgoing multi-term Mayor Muriel Bowser. The Democratic mayoral primary will be based on ranked choice voting for the first time this year. Lewis George has a lead in the primary according to a City Cast poll, as well as according to a GBAO Strategies poll sponsored by her own campaign. Prior to winning the DSA endorsement and the Democratic primary in 2020 and becoming a member of the D.C. City Council, Lewis George had been an assistant attorney general in Philadelphia as well as an assistant attorney general in Washington, D.C.
