DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb
Dad, listener, and third-generation DC resident 🏛️. Honored to fight for our communities every day as DC’s independent Attorney General ⚖️. Official Account 🦋.
- NEW: We just released our 2025 Impact Report. Every year, we update DC residents about our work fighting for them as the independent Office of the Attorney General. In a year where every dollar mattered, OAG secured $906.8 million in savings and benefits for the District and its residents.
- Our top priority is keeping DC residents safe. In 2025, OAG improved public safety by supporting crime victims, defending the District's gun laws, prosecuting juvenile crime, closing illegal cannabis shops, holding reckless drivers accountable, and advancing legislation to reduce youth recidivism.
- We also expanded our efforts to support children and families in DC. OAG collected and distributed child support for 50,000 children, placed 147 children from our foster system in permanent homes, worked to reduce school truancy, and engaged hundreds of young people with impactful youth programs.
- The proposed cuts to the Washington Post Metro Section should alarm every DC resident. Local Post reporters play an indispensable role informing the public, elevating community voices, covering crises, and holding power to account. The Washington Post should cover Washington. #SaveThePost
- NEW: We are proposing long-overdue reforms to the District's child support system. These reforms will ensure that every cent parents pay in child support directly benefits kids — not fund operational costs. Once implemented, vulnerable families in DC will get a much-needed increase in support.
