Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I want to congratulate you once again, Mr. Bunch, on what you have done, and on the vote of confidence you really have…”

Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

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.

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

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.
