I am grateful for his personal devotion to D.C. voting rights. He and I spent countless hours working together on my D.C. House Voting Rights Act, which the House passed in 2007. Since last Congress, he has championed my D.C. statehood bill. He is the first Majority Leader in history to get the D.C. statehood bill passed in either chamber, and he got it passed twice. I will miss his leadership, but I look forward to continuing to work with him on D.C. statehood and regional matters.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |
