Globally Experienced CEO and Local Leader Jeffrey Kihien Announces Candidacy for D.C. Ward 5 City Council
WASHINGTON D.C.
November 5th, 2025
– Jeffrey Kihien, a successful business executive, international attorney, and dedicated 20-year resident of Ward 5, today formally announced his campaign for the Ward 5 seat on the D.C. City Council. Kihien promises to bring a fresh, globally informed, and locally focused vision to the community, backed by his world-class expertise in complex governance and economic strategy developed over 15 years as CEO of G & K Management and as an international asset recovery attorney. His commitment to public service is rooted in his humanitarian work as a founder of The Path of Hope Foundation, which provides essential mobility equipment to those in need.
Kihien’s platform is centered on three core priorities for Ward 5:
Accountability and Safe Streets: Demand rigorous oversight and disciplined resource management to immediately restore law and order, ending decades of failed one-party rule that has neglected the basic government function of public safety.
A New Vision for Housing in Ward 5: Champion fiscally responsible policies that prioritize first-time homeownership and eliminate systemic inefficiency, delivering streamlined, means-tested support to ensure stable and affordable housing for every resident.
Affordable Healthcare & Regulatory Reform: Target crushing healthcare costs through immediate regulatory reform and mandatory cost transparency to ensure quality healthcare is affordable and accessible to all Ward 5 families, despite the Ward’s numerous medical facilities.
"Ward 5 needs a Councilmember who knows how to manage complex budgets, enforce accountability, and has a proven record of turning strategy into practical, life-changing results," said Jeffrey Kihien. "I am committed to bringing my global business acumen and deep local dedication to ensure that Ward 5 is a safe, prosperous, and affordable place for all of us."
