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

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 have written to the Postal Service many times in recent years about issues in the District of Columbia, including mail being stolen, burned, or otherwise destroyed, lost, or not delivered.

Throughout my career in Congress I’ve passionately defended home rule and DC’s right to govern itself.
