On the recordNovember 19, 2025
Again, I strongly oppose this bill. As a reminder, it would eliminate commonsense criminal justice reforms that have been widely implemented by State and local governments across the country. Local officials here in D.C. passed these laws. The voters made these decisions, and D.C. should have a right to govern itself. This bill undermines trust between police and the community they serve and makes us all less safe. It is undemocratic. It could very well make D.C. not just less safe but also lose trust between its elected government and the people. When the people come together and pass laws, Congress should not overturn those. Mr. Speaker, again, I urge opposition, and I yield back the balance of my time.
