front page of play, Linda Cropp for Mayor

Linda Cropp will focus our resources in our neighborhoods and make government accountable to the people it serves. Too many of us are left out of the District's economic growth. She will bring fairness to government to improve the quality of life for all of us.

Linda Cropp will provide hands on Leadership to:

  • Build on our economic growth to revitalize neglected communities, improve services and invest in our people.
  • Restore schools where children can read, write, think and compete with children from anywhere.
  • Make our streets and neighborhoods safer.
  • Expand affordable housing so all income levels can keep the District as their home town.
  • Train the jobless for today's workforce.
  • Spread opportunity to women, minorities, local, small, disadvantaged businesses, and the most needy.

Linda Cropp is not afraid to take on the tough fights. She stood firm against overwhelming odds to reduce the cost of the new ballpark and saved taxpayers millions of dollars. As Council Chairman, she crafted budgets that funded health care for the uninsured, gave across the board tax relief, and improved the delivery of basic services.

Linda Cropp built broad coalitions for:

  • Better schools to prepare our children for further education or for work.
  • More and better trained police officers on the streets.
  • Guaranteed annual revenue of tens of millions for affordable housing construction.
  • $100 million to fix public schools.
  • Recognition and support for guardian grandparents.
  • Inclusionary zoning to maintain diverse, mixed income neighborhoods.

Linda Cropp was the first woman elected Chairman of the Council. Today, the Council is more independent and more accessible to citizens. She is widely recognized as a leader who can bring us together across neighborhoods with mutual respect and a spirit of community.

She and her husband, Dwight, have lived for 31 years in the Crestwood neighborhood in Ward 4. They are the parents of two adult children and have one grandson.
