Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, has officially announced she will not be seeking re-election for a fourth term following the horrific shooting of two National Guard soldiers in the city earlier this week, an incident that has made her a disgrace to the people of our nation’s capital and around the country.
Bowser, who said serving as mayor “has been the honor” of a lifetime, posted a statement on social media outlet X where she highlighted what she believes are significant accomplishments, such as keeping sports teams in the city and raising “enrollment and graduation rates” in local schools. She also noted that her administration brought D.C. “back from the ravages of a global pandemic.”
“It has been the honor of my life to be your mayor,” Bowser’s statement read. “When you placed your trust in me ten years ago, you gave me an extraordinary opportunity to have a positive impact on my hometown. Every day since, I’ve cherished that opportunity, and have happily given all of my passion and energy to a job I love.”
According to Breitbart News, the statement continued, “We delivered on big projects like McMillan and St. Elizabeths, and invested nearly $1 billion in Ward 8, including the brand new, full-service Cedar Hill regional medical center. We drove unemployment to its lowest levels, achieved a AAA bond rating and strong reserves, quadrupled CBE spending, and completed the largest infrastructure project in our city’s history with the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.”
Bowser couldn’t help but take a shot at President Donald Trump’s efforts to clean up the streets in the nation’s capital, referring to him and the officials and troops sent in to help deal with crime as “bullies who threatened our very autonomy, while preserving Home Rule.” She then touted her opposition to the efforts as her administration’s “north star.”
“Throughout this remarkable journey, I’ve been honored to serve with countless dedicated city executives and extraordinary front-line workers, the incredible people who keep Washington, DC thriving every day. For their bold vision, big ideas, personal sacrifices, and relentless pursuit of excellence in service to this great city, I am deeply grateful,” the statement added.
Bowser’s service as the mayor began in 2014. Speaking with the Washington Post, Bowser said that before her dad passed away last year, she told him, “She did not think she would run again,” which is the only logical move she can make after working against the best interests of her constituents.

The outlet then pointed out that Bowser’s decision not to seek another term as the mayor “opens up what is bound to be a highly competitive mayor’s race.” Bowser, of course, is not admitting her many failures and horrendous liberal policies as the reason she is not running for a fourth term. Instead, the Democrat says she’s opting not to run as a means of passing the torch to a new generation of leaders, claiming that her administration has laid the groundwork for others — who are likely even more radical than she is — to take her place and build upon what she accomplished.
