RICHARD DANZIG

"For over two decades, I have admired Kinney Zalesne as a person, as a neighbor and as a vibrantly committed citizen of the District of Columbia. As a former Secretary of the Navy, I have seen a number of people who have accomplished a great deal, but few who have been as broadly and creatively effective as Kinney.”

A statement from Richard Danzig:

"For over two decades, I have admired Kinney Zalesne as a person, as a neighbor and as a vibrantly committed citizen of the District of Columbia. As a former Secretary of the Navy, I have seen a number of people who have accomplished a great deal, but few who have been as broadly and creatively effective as Kinney.

Whether leading a college access program that grew out of a Teen Center in Adams Morgan or creating The Women's Executive Network to strengthen Democratic candidates, Kinney has consistently helped others. I'd love to see her elected to represent all of us."
