All the GOP DC Bills — And Whether Eleanor Holmes Norton Is Up to Fighting Them

from City Cast DC · host City Cast

It’s no secret that DC is facing holy hell on Capitol Hill. But are the city’s leaders doing all they can to advocate for themselves in front of a Congress that seems to despise self-government in the District? DC Councilmember Christina Henderson joined us to talk through the Congressional bills currently targeting the District, Eleanor Holmes Norton’s poor performance last Wednesday, and about whether Mayor Muriel Bowser and the rest of our elected officials are up to the unprecedented challenge. Plus – the council is back this week. We’re previewing that. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
