Eleanor Holmes Norton: “St. Elizabeths, which Representative Norton is very familiar with, has been a consolidation effort for over 15 years.”

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.

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.
