Candidates for ANC single member districts 4B08 and 5A01 serving Riggs Park still needed!

If you call yourself a reasonable, respectful person interested in improving where you live, please consider running for a seat on the Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC). Each ANC commissioner represents approximately 2,000 residents who make up a single member district (SMD). Find your ANC/SMD.

Nominating petitions to run for ANC in the November general election are available from the DC Board of Elections. Petitions are due at 5:00 pm on August 7, 2024. Information about how to run for the ANC is available on the Board of Election website at https://www.dcboe.org/candidates/anc-advisory-neighborhood-commissioners.

Riggs Park is served by ANCs 4B and ANC 5A, specifically ANC 4B08, 4B09, 4B10, 5A01, 5A02, and 5A09. So far, there are no candidates for 4B08 and 5A01 serving Riggs Park. If you have been a resident of one of these SMDs for at least 60 days, please consider running for ANC. There is still time to pick up petitions and collect 25 signatures from registered voters in the SMD.

ANC 4B has 10 SMDs. So far 8 candidates have picked up petitions:

• 4B01 – Slobodan Milic
• 4B01 – Al Canata
• 4B03 – Keenan Courtland
• 4B05 – Jose Barrios
• 4B06 – Incumbent commissioner Tiffani Nicole Johnson
• 4B07 – Incumbent commissioner Michael Cohen
• 4B09 – Danielle Geong
• 4B10 – Incumbent commissioner Jinin Berry

ANC 5A has 9 SMDs. So far 5 people have picked up petitions:

• 5A03 – Incumbent commissioner Emily Singer Lucio

• 5A08 – Elaine Alston
• 5A09 – Incumbent commissioner Shelagh Bocoum

ANCs can weigh in on all sorts of matters that affect residents (planning and development projects, services by District agencies, etc.) so it really can make a difference to have proactive, reasonable people in these positions. If you are a reasonable, respectful person who would not mind doing some unpaid community work and would enjoy interacting with residents, District agencies, and neighborhood businesses to make our neighborhood a bit better, go ahead and run. We all thank you in advance.
