Campaign themes
2024
Campaign website
Kymone Freeman’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
"Broadening Democracy" The DC Delegate's seat "doesn’t belong to any specific person," and it's time for leadership that will "broaden democracy." Kymone "will fight for us to have a vote in the House at the least and [ultimately] statehood" Self-Determination and Human Rights The Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act in 1986 addressed racial segregation and oppression in South Africa. But Congress has not yet taken any steps to address legal segregation in Israel and the Occupied Palestine and the need for Palestinian self-determination. Failure of the US to speak out on violation of Palestinian human rights helps perpetuate those harms, endangers Palestinian Americans, and contributes to dehumanizing views and oppression in this country. "Essential Conversations" "Anyone who tries to say certain things about Israel or Jewish involvement in politics gets labeled as antisemitic. We’re becoming more and more fascist by the minute. Kymone could draw some attention to the way our country is settling into shutting people down.” DC's VOTE in Congress DC's Delegate has in the past been allowed to vote on committee matters, including in Committee of the Whole. De-Escalation and Ceasefire US House Res 786, calling for an immediate deescalation and cease-fire in Israel and occupied Palestine, has only 18 co-sponsors , not including our current Delegate. The US stands apart from substantial global majority -- 153 of 193 in the UN -- supporting peaceful resolution. Many leaders in- and outside Jewish communities around the world believe the current violence only endangers Israeli hostages held by Hamas. |

Kymone Freeman completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Freeman's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- "We Need a Revolution of Values" - MLK
Without a rention plan for longtime residents and small businesses DC will continue to become more unaffordable and the disparities in wealth will continue to grow. We need legislation that forces the H.U.D. guideline that suggests that no one should have to pay more than 30% of their income, plus utilities, in housing.
For homeowners and small business owners, their property tax should be capped at a permanent fixed rate at the time of purchase to prevent it from being used as a displacement tool. - “We are the ones we have been waiting for” -June Jordan We must begin to address the root causes of crime and violence. America has the largest prison system in the entire world. DC has more police than any city in America per capita. Clearly, these draconian, for profit, reactionary policies do not serve as a solution to prevent crime and violence. We must recognize environmental causes, i.e, poverty, illiteracy, lead exposure, malnutrition, etc., are all contributing factors. Address these issues and you will have effectively mediated violent behavior as simple as denying too much sugar to children.
- You want DC Statehood or No Federal Income Taxes? DC pays more taxes per capita than most states. Whereas, Guam and Puerto Rico share the same non-voting status as the Nation's Capital pays none. Taxation without Representation should not be a status, but an unacceptable insult that shouldn't be tolerated.
