We are working to allow the United States flag to be flown at half-staff in honor of the Mayor of the District of Columbia when they pass away, recognizing their important role alongside other state and territorial leaders. This change reflects respect and acknowledges their unique position in our nation's capital.

Flags at half-staff for the D.C. Mayor? A simple gesture, but it’s about respect no one should debate.

No fireworks here, just a modest update that brings some dignity to our nation’s capital leadership.

If we start dragging the flag down every time a local official passes, what’s next—half-staff for every city council meeting?

Acknowledging the Mayor of D.C. isn’t just symbolic, it’s a quiet nod to justice for a city the federal government loves to overlook.

Why elevate the D.C. Mayor? They’re appointed, not elected like real state governors. Let’s keep some standards.

Symbolism’s fine, but let’s not turn the flag into a political prop every time someone in D.C. sneezes.

Half-staff for the Mayor? That’s a flag-raising win for democracy and dignity in a city often left in the shadows.

A small tweak that says, ‘Hey, D.C. matters,’ without breaking the political machinery.

Finally recognizing D.C.’s mayor as more than a sideshow – it’s about time our capital gets the respect it deserves.
