Ward 8 Candidate Forum

WABA is a 501(c)3 and does not endorse candidates.

During election seasons, WABA invites all candidates for office to complete surveys about their views on transportation, which we share on our website. We also host candidate forums in some races to allow members of the public to meet candidates and ask questions about biking and transportation.

Check out upcoming events in DC’s Wards 7 and 8 that celebrate outdoor resources and opportunities to active!  Get involved with upcoming projects to help you get around by walking, biking, or taking transit. Explore a park, trail, or neighborhood, including Anacostia Park and the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, Oxon Run Park and Trail, Marvin Gaye Trail, and more!

WABA fights for a region where biking, walking and transit are the best ways to get around.

We educate policymakers and organize grassroots advocates for to speak up for safer places to bike and walk; and for laws and policies that protect people who are walking and biking, reduce dangerous driving, and facilitate changes to the built environment.

WABA runs a variety of outreach programs that create opportunities for people across the region to join the bicycling community.
