Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I have respected its expertise. And so when an agency double crosses me, believe me, they ain't got no friends up here…”

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.

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.
