MEET BRAD HOWARD
Brad is serving his first term on Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1E.
He’s a Park View homeowner, dedicated public servant, former small business owner, and a proud American University graduate who has called D.C. home for nearly two decades.
Brad brings a neighbor’s perspective to public service—grounded in local roots, shaped by small town values, and driven by a deep love for this city.
Outside of his work, Brad’s a proud cat dad, a self-declared weather nerd, a history buff, and a weekend cyclist. He’s also a fun uncle, a Nationals fan, and a member of Foundry United Methodist Church here in Washington.
Brad earned his Master of Arts in Public Communications from American University — putting himself through school with the help of public loans, hard work, sweat, and public service.
He covered tuition with a mix of student loans, paid internships, and long shifts bartending and waiting tables at restaurants right here in the city.
He later spent more than a decade in public service—serving in the Obama Administration, on Capitol Hill, and at City Hall in New Orleans—which ultimately qualified him for student loan forgiveness through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, a policy he proudly champions today.
Brad is a seasoned Democratic strategist who has led campaigns at the congressional, gubernatorial, and senatorial levels in states across the country. During the 2024 election, he served as television political commentator for national news outlets such as NewsNation, Fox News, CNN, and Bloomberg TV. He is currently serving as chief of staff to a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and is an officer in the Ward 1 Democrats here in our nation’s capital.
In November 2024, Brad was elected by his neighbors to his first two-year term on DC’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1E, representing ANC 1E01. He works hard every day to keep residents informed and to deliver real progress for the people of Park View.
