Eleanor Holmes Norton: “The minority's request will be honored--will be considered and honored.”

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 urge the administration to move forward to finish this rulemaking.

I have one response to people with doubts about my ability to serve: Watch me.

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.
