Eleanor Holmes Norton: “Congress cannot force retrocession on Maryland. So it is impractical.”

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.

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

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

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