ANC 5D01

Today, Vanessa and I turned in my petitions for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for 5D01, the single member district that encompass Ivy City and the surrounding neighborhood.  What does that mean exactly?  My name will be on the November 2012 Election Ballot for Washington, DC.  This is a HUGE deal to my family.  This will be a first for us since I am a first generation American by way of naturalized citizenship. Here's to me becoming the first Lewis to hold a political appointment in the United States!
