Keep Your Money. Give Me Your Voice.

Most political campaigns start with a request for donations. This one starts with a different idea: DC doesn’t need more political fundraising—it needs a new economic model.

That’s why there is no “Donate Money” button on this website. Instead, there is a “Download Flyer” button below, designed to help you spread the word and grow this movement citywide.

For too long, Washington, DC has operated under a distorted political economy—where influence is concentrated, voices are filtered through money, and public priorities compete with private fundraising networks. The result is a city where too many residents feel the system is designed around them, not for them.

Khan is building something different.

As an Independent, he is refusing all campaign donations and capping his personal campaign spending at $500. But more importantly, he is proposing a structural shift in how the city itself is funded.

His Zero-Tax DC Prosperity Model for Washington, DC eliminates local taxes for residents and businesses and replaces them with a growth-driven funding structure anchored in large-scale economic participation. In this ominpartisan win-win model, the burden of sustaining the city shifts away from working families and toward the major economic beneficiaries of operating in the nation’s capital—global corporations, high-growth firms, and industries that derive outsized value from proximity to the White House, Congress, federal agencies, regulators, and international institutions.

This is not about cutting funding for the city. It is about expanding the economic base that supports it—so that DC becomes a magnet for thousands of companies, startups, and institutions, dramatically increasing overall fiscal capacity while reducing pressure on residents.

Khan’s broader platform—including 200,000 new homes with $900 rent caps, universal childcare, 36 weeks of paid parental leave, free 24/7 transit, nonprofit grocery stores, $100,000 teacher salaries, student stipends, and living wages up to $50/hour in essential sectors—is designed to ensure that this growth translates directly into stability and dignity for working families.

But none of this requires traditional political fundraising.

It requires people power.

A Different Kind of Campaign. A Different Kind of City.

This campaign is built on a simple belief: DC should not be shaped by who raises the most money—but by who has the best ideas and the strongest civic participation.

In a city of 800,000 residents, and in a capital that sits at the center of global decision-making, the most powerful resource is not campaign cash—it is collective action.

Khan’s message is simple:

“I’m not funded by money. I’m powered by people. And I’m here to build a DC that works for all of us.”
