Eleanor Holmes Norton: “The real power grab is denying 712,000 taxpaying American citizens the right to vote.”

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

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.

I’m gonna run. I don’t know why anybody would even ask me.

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.
