Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I am pleased to yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Norcross). This is his bill.”

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

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

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.
