I'm Rick Nash, and I would like to serve as your representative for Advisory Neighborhood Commission District 3C08.
I have been deeply engaged in our community since moving here in 2000. My family and I treasure the neighborhood’s playgrounds and greenspaces, schools, institutions, local businesses and commercial areas, and the “village in the city” atmosphere. I have served as a director of the Rosedale Conservancy, a community green space open to the public, since its founding. I've also served as president of the Cleveland Park Historical Society as well as on various task forces on traffic calming, pedestrian safety, business revitalization, and the environment. Our children attended public, charter, and independent schools in the neighborhood. I am a former John Eaton parent and recently was engaged in the design process for the school’s renovation and served as a member of its public art committee. I view my understanding of neighborhood issues and commitment to improving our community as an advantage.
I appreciate our community’s walkability and human scale, and you may have seen me on frequent walks around the neighborhood. Safe streets for school kids, walkers, runners, and bicyclists are important to me, as are better neighborhood spaces and services. I support thoughtful, balanced growth that mitigates impacts, prioritizes workforce housing, addresses school capacity and infrastructure needs, and enhances the built environment. As the general counsel of a global conservation nonprofit, I value a green and sustainable community.
I will listen, learn and, if elected, represent your views and work to make our community better as it grows and evolves. I favor a collaborative, constructive, and pragmatic approach to get things done for the neighborhood and advocate your concerns to DC agencies.
Throughout the campaign season--which is not that long--I hope to meet those who don't know me so I can hear what matters to you, as I ask for your support. Please get in touch and share your ideas, questions and hopes for our community. I look forward to connecting with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you.

Washington, DC continues to lose our tree canopy, increasing the impact of climate change and aggravating health conditions. (DC has the highest rate of childhood asthma in the nation.) Careless cutting destabilizes street trees, increasing the risks of serious injury to people, damage to property, and power outage
