Eleanor Holmes Norton: “That is why pedestrian and traffic safety is a priority for me as chair of this subcommittee.”

D.C.'s local courts have faced chronic judicial vacancies for far too long, delaying justice for residents and placing an unnecessary strain on the administration of our local court system.

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

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 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.
