Statehood, Home Rule, and Equality | 2022-08-24 | 2022 | 2022-08 | Democrat | House | DC | Eleanor Holmes Norton | N000147 | norton.house.gov | norton | https://norton.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today thanked Committee on Oversight and Reform (COR) Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) for her longstanding support for District of Columbia statehood, home rule, and equality, after Maloney lost reelection. As chair of COR, which has jurisdiction over D.C., Maloney oversaw the passage of the D.C. statehood bill in the House in 2020 and 2021, which were the first and second times in history either chamber had passed the bill. Maloney also got several D.C. home rule and equality bills passed in COR. In addition, Maloney ensured that D.C. was made whole in the American Rescue Plan for the $755 million D.C. was shortchanged in the CARES Act, which treated D.C. as a territory instead of a state for coronavirus fiscal relief, even though D.C. pays the same taxes as states. "I will miss working with my longtime close friend Carolyn Maloney, especially on D.C. matters and women's rights," Norton said. "She has been a champion for D.C. statehood, home rule, and equality, and we in D.C. owe her a debt of gratitude." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
