Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I don't know how I could name another agency that shows that kind of return.”

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

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.

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