James Comer (R-KY) to authorize transfer administrative control of the RFK Stadium campus to D.C., Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) thanked National Parks Subcommittee Chairman Angus King (I-ME) for holding the hearing, which represents the bill\u2019s first step in the Senate towards a full vote in that chamber. The House passed the bill in February.\n\n\u201cThank you, Chairman King, for holding today\u2019s hearing on my bill with Rep. Comer, which would allow D.C. to use the land where RFK Stadium sits for stadium redevelopment, commercial and residential development, or other public purposes,\u201d Norton said. \u201cDuring my tenure in Congress I\u2019ve worked to transfer control of underused federal land in the District to local D.C. so it can be put to productive use.\n\n\u201cThis bill is a win-win for both the federal and D.C. governments. The last professional sports game played at RFK Stadium was in 2017 and the stadium\u2019s current blighted state presents dangers to nearby residents, but the bill would allow D.C. to create a mixed-use development and generate significant revenue for the District.\n\n\u201cI will work to ensure momentum continues after today\u2019s important hearing.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:01:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://norton.house.gov/media/press-releases/norton-thanks-senate-energy-natural-resources-subcommittee-chair-holding"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9348136372864246, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
