Alexandra Lewin-Zwerdling for ANC1B02
I had a chance to meet Alexandra Lewin-Zwerdling tonight at a community meeting. She’s running in the special election to replace Aaron Spencer. Some would say 1B02 is the heart of the U Street Corridor. It also has the highest density of liquor establishments than any of the single member districts, is both the western and southern border of ANC1B and Ward One, and will be host to several new developments in the coming years. Selecting a commissioner for this seat is a big deal. That’s why I’m so pleased that Alexandra is running. She is smart, dedicated, and is already working hard to hear the concerns of our community. I’m supporting her, and I hope you will too. Check back for the election date, TBD.
She provided me some information on her platform, below, in her own voice.

I’m Alexandra Lewin-Zwerdling. My husband Alex and I live on Wallach Pl in the heart of the best neighborhood in town.The U street area is an exciting place to live. We chose to live and one day raise a family here because of all it has to offer. But, our community faces tough choices about how to grow. I will take seriously the responsibility of representing you by:Encouraging regular communication between residents, law enforcement, and business leaders;Supporting smart growth policies that enhance our community;
Working with police and first responders to improve public safety; and Promoting innovative initiatives for a healthy neighborhood. |
My priority is for all our neighbors to have a voice in how we grow.

Since deciding to run for 1B02 I’ve been going door-to-door listening to residents’ concerns and issues as well as meeting with local business owners to better understand more about each business. communication across businesses and what type of feedback businesses receive from residents (and vice versa). There are so many areas of mutual concern – safety, cleanliness, and maintaining the uniqueness of the neighborhood, among others.
As a public health professional, I also hear residents’ concerns loud and clear when they have voiced their desire for a nearby grocery store.
