Washington, DC (December 20, 2023) — Today, Jessica Giles, Executive Director at DFER D.C., issued a statement on the announcement of Councilmember Vincent C. Gray’s decision not to seek re-election in 2024.
“Education Reform Champion Vincent C. Gray has dedicated his life to serving District residents and fighting for a just and equitable education for all students. Because of his leadership, the District has universal free pre-kindergarten, better support for infants and toddlers via the Birth-to-Three legislation, more student-based behavioral health support, and a hospital on the “East End” of the District. We deeply appreciate Councilmember Gray’s laser focus on addressing gaps in our public education and healthcare system and recognize his vital role in shaping a brighter future for our students. His service is a testament to the transformative power of passionate and effective leadership in public education.”
