I’m Karla Lewis, the ANC5E02 Commissioner in Bloomingdale, Washington, DC. People call me “God’s Gift” for a reason! [will insert pic of Karla’s vanity license plate]

I have fought tirelessly for years to preserve street parking above all else. Be sure to vote for me this November, 2026!

Some of my successes include:

• Helping to cancel plans for a new metrobus line on 1st St NW;
• Blocking the Michelin Star Indian restaurant Indigo from opening a new location here in Bloomingdale;
• Not voting for a liquor license for the Mexican restaurant El Camino
• Skipping out on the ANC’s efforts to curtail the Federal Government’s presence in DC and to ban ICE agents from masking their faces;
• Fighting residents who support bike lanes- not just with my words but also my fists!

Next up on my agenda are:

• Revoking Big Bear Cafe’s alcoholic beverage license, because they make noise until 9pm when they close. They are hurting seniors who go to bed before then. The sounds of happiness and laughter are an anathema to me;
• Shutting down the Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market. It creates traffic in the neighborhood and sometimes people park on the street in front of my house;
• Blocking city-wide efforts to protect bikelanes, such as the ones on Q and R St NW. Who cares if painted lanes are unsafe for cyclists and children? I might lose my parking spot right in front of my house. In fact, I’m for removing ALL bikelanes in DC. No one uses them anyway!
