MESSAGE FROM UNITED STATES SENATOR MICHAEL D. BROWN

I will speak with Jonetta about what's happening in politics - locally and nationally. The mayor vetoed the Revised Criminal Code Act in DC - was she correct, or was this just dangerous rhetoric?

I'll ask Jonetta about the uptick in racism in America, gun violence on the streets of Washington, DC and what we should expect with the new Congress.

Join us for what is bound to be an interesting and provocative discussion!

Call in with your questions and/or concerns!
