TUNE IN: I'm testifying before the @councilofdc's Judiciary Committee for OAG's Performance Oversight Hearing: dccouncil.us/room-500/
@councilofdc One big consumer victory this year: OAG secured $550K+ in debt relief for more than 400 #DC consumers harmed by a debt buyer and collector.

@councilofdc OAG has continued implementing data-driven solutions to enhance public safety, including our #CuretheStreets violence interruption program which uses a public-health approach that treats violence like a disease.

@councilofdc Our office also made strides this year to help struggling children and their parents, collecting over $55 million in child support payments.
OAG's successful Amnesty Month and Career Fair also continues to help parents get back on track with their child-support payments.
@councilofdc OAG also continues to provide top-notch legal representation to the District government and our defense of the District results in significant cost savings for #DC taxpayers.
@councilofdc In addition to our existing priorities, this year my office will devote resources to focus on:
* Disrupting gun violence in #DC
* Addressing childhood trauma
* Aggressively combating elder abuse
* Zealously protecting the civil and human rights of all residents.
