Eleanor Holmes Norton: “We'll work on both of those bills and try to combine them to get them through.”

Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

I am outraged at the number and scope of anti-D.C. home rule riders in the bill released today.

Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.

I will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.
