Count Us In!

We Washingtonians are passionate about sports. From the stands at the Verizon Center and at Nationals Park, I have seen us come together behind our sport teams in a big way. We take pride in our athletes and embrace athletic competition. Our enthusiasm for the Olympic Games is no different.

Ever since we announced our bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024, people across the Capital Region have told me again and again: Count us in! Our town is excited by the chance to bring the World to Washington and to bring Washington to the World. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of a movement that would unite and transform our region for generations. The Games would expose world-class sports to our young people like nothing else and inspire them of wearing Gold one day.

Some may think from our reputation that we squabble all the time, but the truth is that our town is rich with the spirit of community. No matter which side of the aisle we stand or which part of town we reside, we would work hard to put on a successful Olympic Games and we will be better because of them.

That’s why I know our town would be spectacular host. Don’t take it from just me. Watch this video of people from across the Capital Region who believe in the promise of the Games.
