We Earned Social Security—Now Let’s Protect It
It’s that time of year again, Washingtonians—Medicare Open Enrollment is just around the corner! If you are over age 65, you may qualify for a Medicare plan. Medicare open enrollment is from October 15 to December 7, 2025. Medicare beneficiaries in the District can review, switch, or update their coverage for plans that begin January 1, 2026.
As the AARP DC Volunteer State President, I am proud to represent 68,000 AARP members in the District, and on behalf of them and all older District residents, we are advocating for a budget that honors their dignity and needs. For the District’s FY2026 budget, our message is clear: District seniors deserve their fair share of the pie.

Remember the “mother-in-law suite” or “granny flat”? These small, separate living spaces tucked behind a main house were once common in American neighborhoods. After World War II, they popped up across the country, offering families a way to keep loved ones close while giving them independence. However, over time, zoning laws made it increasingly difficult to build them, and they gradually faded from view.
