Campaign website

Forester's campaign website stated the following:

WHAT DYANA WILL FIGHT FOR

​

Affordable Housing You Can Actually Afford

No family should be priced out of the city they built. Dyana will expand affordable housing, protect renters, and create pathways to homeownership.

​

Good Jobs and Fair Wages

Working people deserve dignity and economic security. Dyana will fight for strong labor protections, job training, and wages that keep up with the cost of living.

​

Safe, Strong Neighborhoods

Public safety and community trust go hand in hand. Dyana supports smart investments in violence prevention, accountability, and resources that strengthen families.

Schools That Work for Every Child

Every child deserves access to quality education, safe facilities, and opportunities to thrive, no matter their ZIP code.

​

A Government That Works for You

Dyana believes in transparency, accountability, and leadership that listens first, not politics as usual.

​This campaign isn’t about insiders. It’s about building a DC where working families can stay, grow, and succeed.
