The George Washington Doctrine

Khan is running as an Independent because, like our city’s namesake, George Washington, he believes political parties are "potent engines" for division rather than progress. By bypassing the partisan primary brawls, Khan is focusing 100% of his energy on the 100% Plan: $900 rent caps, 24/7 Metro, school meals that actually fuel the brain and safer streets. In a year where both parties have been tainted by the Epstein files fallout, Khan offers a clean break from the same old politics of the elite. He isn’t here to play team sports for red or blue; he’s here to work with anyone who wants to turn our "Tale of Two Cities" into one united Dream City.

If you too believe that George Washington had the right idea about avoiding party traps—and you’re ready to leave the Epstein-era baggage behind, join Team Khan—the only campaign led by a 20-year resident who’s seen the 'Tale of Two Cities' from the driver’s seat, not a donor’s gala.

Khan is also the ONLY candidate in the DC mayoral race who is “Unbought and Unbossed” — he is not accepting a single dollar in donations and he is the only candidate who has pledged to not spend more than $500 on the entire race. No corporations and outside millionaires / billionaires are writing checks to him. His platform was written by DC residents for DC residents.
