Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I do believe that that indicates the importance of this hearing to the Federal Government.”

I have introduced the Ensure Full Participation in the Census Act, H.R. 7911, to prohibit the Census Bureau from asking questions on the Decennial Census about citizenship, nationality, or immigration status.

With this bill, House Republicans have intentionally committed nothing short of fiscal sabotage against D.C.

D.C. has not been treated as a federal agency for funding purposes in more than 20 years precisely because doing so can force dramatic overnight cuts to essential services, including police, sanitation, and schools.

I would like to thank subcommittee Chair Rick Crawford for holding this hearing on transportation regulations.
