Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”

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.
