Steven McCarty

Steven is a community champion and advocate for working families and youth. He has experience serving his community through service, leadership, and coalition building. He’s running to represent ANC 2G04, a small but mighty neighborhood with an incredibly diverse community of residents, businesses, landmarks, and art.

Steven is fighting to make streets and alleys safer for children, families, individuals, and pets to enjoy. He also wants to focus on utilizing public and green space to bring the community together, better communicate what the ANC and Ward 2 Council Member are planning for his neighbors, and collaborate with relevant D.C. agencies to better support businesses and residents.

As an advocate for underserved youth and member of the LGBTQ community, Steven worked with the Kiwanis Club of Washington, D.C. and SMYAL to secure $100,000 in annual funding to start SMYAL’s Clinical Services Department which offers free, affirming, mental healthcare to queer and trans youth in the District of Columbia. Steven lives with his husband, Rich, and dog, Brody, in Washington, D.C. and he is excited to continue serving his community and neighbors.
