The biggest task ahead for D.C.'s new mayor

Janeese Lewis George 's biggest job will be rebuilding D.C.'s economy. Why it matters: After 12 years, Washingtonians will look to a new mayor to solve their problems. And the list's a doozy: A hellish job market , record restaurant closures , crashing condo values , billion-dollar budget gaps . The big picture: The effects of DOGE are still being felt. Coming after the pandemic, it's been a double whammy for a city that boomed in the 2010s. After President Trump's return to the White House, D.C. lost 45,600 jobs through August , 62% of which were government positions. The fallout has rippled through city life, with laid-off workers and families getting squeezed, neighborhood bars losing customers amid inflation and downtown landlords watching office values plunge. There's no quick rebound: The city won't return to pre-DOGE growth rates until fall 2030, according to D.C. chief financial officer Glen Lee's projections. It's up to JLG — the city's youngest mayor in a generation — to reinvent the city's growth engine. The democratic socialist easily won Tuesday's general election, per AP, after sweeping the competitive June primary amid frustration with the city's direction and rising cost of living. Her ideas include a

Meet the record 5 Black governors elected to lead states

A record five Black governors will serve at the same time beginning in January, a historic milestone after the Nov. 3 midterm elections nearly doubled the number of Black Americans ever elected governor in the United States. Before this election, only three Black Americans had ever been elected governor: Wes Moore in Maryland, Deval Patrick in Massachusetts and Doug Wilder in Virginia. Never had two served simultaneously. On Election Day, four Black gubernatorial candidates broke barriers in their states, joining Moore, who won reelection. The victories were among a series of historic firsts dominated by Democrats, who flipped seven Senate and 25 House seats to take control of Congress. Voters also elected the nation’s first Native American woman governor , first openly gay member of the U.S. Senate and first Muslim U.S. senator. “The story of this election is not just about who won,” Dominik Whitehead, chief of field for the NAACP, said in a Nov. 4 statement. “It’s about the Black wave of voters who understood what was at stake and made their voices heard.” Here's a look at the historic five Black U.S. governors who will take office.
