There’s a lot of positive momentum surrounding the Washington Commanders right now. Friday’s announcement that owner Daniel Snyder had finalized a deal to sell the franchise to Josh Harris and his group has Washington fans buzzing about what’s ahead.

One of those Washington fans is D.C. Councilman Kenyan McDuffie. In an Op-Ed for The Washington Post, McDuffie made his case about why the Commanders should build a new stadium in Washington, D.C.

McDuffie explained why he was proud of D.C.’s overall progress in recent years but thinks there’s more the city could do to “address persistent economic disparities.”

We’ll let McDuffie take it from here in his own words.
