Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

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.
