On Oct. 2, 2026, Mayor Cherelle Parker marked her 1,000th day in office and used the milestone to outline the administration’s work on the ride‑share tax dispute, the ongoing cleanup in Kensington, and plans for her upcoming re‑election campaign.

She described the ride‑share tax dispute as a priority for her team and explained the city’s position on the issue.

Parker also highlighted the cleanup efforts underway in the Kensington neighborhood, calling the work a key accomplishment of her first thousand days.

Looking ahead, she said the achievements she cited will inform the agenda as she prepares to seek a second term next year.

NBC10 political reporter Lauren Mayk reported the remarks.
