Former ANC Commissioner, DC Representative, and Pharmacist

My name is Oye Owolewa, pronounced—

oh – WOAH – lay – wah.

A confident African American man in a navy suit and light blue tie stands outdoors with a blurred cityscape background.

With a name like mine, I never expected to be in politics. But in the District, I learned quickly that you cannot wait for someone else to stand up for what our communities deserve.

DC residents work hard. People work long hours, invest in their education, raise families, care for neighbors, and hold this District together through constant change and pressure. That work is what makes DC strong. And it deserves representation on the DC Council that fights just as hard in return.

That is why I am running for Council At Large to fight for what the District deserves.

About Oye

As an ANC Commissioner and the District’s US Representative, Oye has consistently acted to protect housing affordability. Oye has fought for DC Statehood and advocated for policies that put residents over monied interests. As a pharmacist, Dr. Oye has been a trusted voice for restoring DC Medicaid and protecting access to care. Oye does this work because District residents deserve leadership that shows up, delivers, and fights for them.
