Patricia Stamper Announces Campaign for DC Council At-Large
A community advocate and mother focused on safer neighborhoods, stronger support for families, and real opportunity for young people.
WASHINGTON, DC — Patricia Stamper today announced her candidacy for DC Council At-Large, launching a citywide campaign focused on public safety that works, stronger schools, and practical support for working families across all eight wards.
Stamper was raised in foster homes and is raising two boys as a single mother. She says that life experience is not a talking point. It is the reason she is running, and it shapes the issues she is most determined to take on, especially the impact of instability on young people and the pressure on parents trying to hold it all together...
“I am running with confidence, clarity, and conviction — not just to compete, but to win.”
— Patricia Stamper

Meet Patricia Stamper
Patricia Stamper is running for an At-Large seat on the DC Council because all 770,000 DC residents deserve a government that listens, responds, and delivers.
Leadership grounded in excellence, integrity, and accountability to the people of Washington, DC.
From Deanwood to Marshall Heights, from Capitol Hill to Takoma, Patricia has spent years serving Ward 7 families — advocating for youth, elevating community voices, and fighting for resources east of the river. Now, she’s ready to take that work citywide.
Expanding Access to Public
Meetings Through Child &
Senior Care
Too many DC residents are locked out of civic participation simply because they cannot find or afford care for their loved ones. This policy focuses on making public meetings accessible to parents, caregivers, and seniors by removing structural barriers to participation.
Public Meeting Access
&
Care Support Act
This legislative proposal ensures District agencies hosting public meetings provide on-site childcare and senior care support. The goal is to increase civic engagement across all eight wards and ensure equitable access for working families, caregivers, and older residents.
