🚨 Attention all media 🚨

Thank you for coming to Washington, DC to cover this historic #Inauguration just days after the #Jan6 #insurrection

The security perimeter is approximately 4.6 square miles out of DC’s 68 square miles total. By area, that is less than 7% of DC.
DC has 8 Wards with the perimeter stretching over a portion of just two of those Wards (namely, 2 & 6)

We are 712,000 residents strong who pay more in federal taxes per capita than residents in any other state

DC Govt has functions of a state, county, city and school district
Our Mayor: @MurielBowser
Congresswoman (albeit non-voting until #DCStatehood): @EleanorNorton
Our state legislature: @councilofdc
Our AG (who prosecutes some crimes; most adults crimes are prosecuted by @USAO_DC): @KarlRacineDC

@DCPoliceDept is the Metropolitan Police Department
Instead of reporting “DC has been militarized,” better to refer to: “the federal enclave” and/or “the Central Business District”

Our neighborhoods remain vibrant, & our residents are both vigilant and resilient

#DCValues include hope, love, diversity & inclusiveness
In 2019, DC had a record number of visitors: 24.9 million from around the world

We have several Michelin star restaurants. @RAMWdc is planning a COVID compliant Restaurant Week starting Jan25 https://www.ramw.org/restaurantweek/o

Plan your post-pandemic trip back here https://washington.org 
According to Free Tours by the Foot, if you spend five minutes in front of each exhibit in all of the museums in DC, it would take you 51 years to see them all.

51 years to see all the exhibits in the #51stState
DC doesnt have a “City Hall.” DC’s seat of government is the John A. Wilson Building
