Eleanor Holmes Norton: “The only way to expand in the Nation's capital was to build right on the waterfront.”

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.

I have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.

In my long career representing D.C. residents in Congress, I have rarely seen a bill as unreasonable and patronizing to the more than 700,000 people who live in the nation’s capital as this one.

I believe this bill strikes the middle ground, while showing Congress' support for LGBTQ+ individuals.
