Eleanor Holmes Norton: “The Constitution never envisioned people voting in D.C., yes, they never envisioned a modern metropolis of 700,000…”

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’m gonna run. I don’t know why anybody would even ask 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.

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