I'm Huma Imtiaz (pronouns: she/hers) and I'm running to serve as commissioner for (the newly redrawn) ANC5E04. I've lived in Bloomingdale since 2013 and am grateful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful community that we get to call home. I’m originally from Pakistan and have lived in Washington, D.C., since 2011. I’m an avid runner, a slow cyclist (that First Street hill gets me each time), and a newbie swimmer.  In addition to my day job as a communications professional, I currently serve as the president of the volunteer-run executive committee of the LeDroit Park Community Garden, which serves residents of Bloomingdale, LeDroit Park and surrounding neighborhoods. I've been endorsed by Erin Palmer, DC Voters for Animals, and Greater Greater Washington!

ANC5E04 Campaign Update: Time to Vote!

This week, I had the most surreal experience of seeing my name on the ballot for the general election in D.C.

First, I would not be here without the support of all of you: family, friends, and neighbors, and of course, the two pets.

I'm so grateful to every one of you who opened your door — even when you were in the midst of making dinner or navigating children's bedtimes — and took the time to have a conversation about our neighborhood, and to every one of you who reached out to give advice and suggestions, helped me make connections with your networks, donated your time and money, and were a source of support and encouragement over these past few months.

During this campaign, I’ve knocked on doors across our neighborhood to hear directly from folks on the issues that matter the most to them. Whether it’s worrying about traffic safety or looking to have DC agencies respond to time sensitive requests like picking up bulk trash, what is clear is that we all love our neighborhood and want to make it better. I’ve been privileged to see firsthand how folks have come together to make this a true community, and I’d love nothing more than the chance to represent you and work alongside neighbors to make our community safer, greener, and more inclusive for all. 

Which brings to me to..my one last ask!  I am hoping I can count on you to vote for me for the position of ANC commissioner for Single Member District 5E04.

Voting is easy! If you got a ballot in the mail already, you can drop it off starting tomorrow, October 14 until 8pm on Election Day at one of the mail-in ballot drop boxes, find a dropbox near you here. You can also drop off your ballot at the post office, vote early in-person, or on election day. More details that will help you make a plan to vote are here.

As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions/comments/concerns/hot takes! And thank you, again, for your support and guidance — it has meant the world to me.
