Eleanor Holmes Norton: “The federal government is the largest advertiser in the United States.”

Mr. Speaker, today, I introduce the Federal Employee Short-Term Disability Insurance Act of 2026, which would make short-term disability insurance available to federal employees.

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.

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