We have debated these bills in a sincere effort to work with the President of the United States to lower crime in D.C. We have heard nothing from the Democrats other than there is no crime problem in D.C., and that a solution is to make Washington, D.C., a State. We are serious about lowering crime.

I appreciate Brandon Gill, the sponsor of the bill, and Byron Donalds for sponsoring the last bill.
