I introduced a bill to prohibit new fencing at the White House.
A nation confident in its ideals doesn't wall off the institutions that carry them out from public view. Rather, it puts them in full view and remains open to the people it serves.

I introduced a bill to protect DC public servants whose retirement benefits were cut by the 1997 Revitalization Act.
My bill fixes technical retirement gaps for dedicated teachers, police, firefighters and judges, ensuring they receive the federal pension benefits they earned.
More fencing would send the wrong message by continuing to transform our democracy from one that is accessible to one that’s exclusive and fearful of its own citizens.
After reports that the Trump Admin plans to erect new fencing to allow them to close Penn Ave in front of the White House to pedestrians, I announced I’ll introduce a bill to prohibit new fencing near the White House.
As I've done for the Capitol and SCOTUS, I introduced a bill to prohibit permanent fencing at Lafayette Square.
Public property should be open to the public. We should not leave citizens to peer at their own democracy from behind fences when there are less restrictive ways to achieve security.
I introduced a bill to preserve 22 Civil War Defenses, which include forts, batteries and rifle trenches which created a ring of protection for DC during the Civil War, located in DC, MD and VA.
These defenses should be preserved for the benefits of education & inspiration for future generations.
On no other holiday is our nation's inequitable treatment of DC more deeply felt than on July 4th.
#DCStatehood won't come under my watch, but my hope is that I've equipped the next generation of DC's leaders to finally achieve what the 700K residents of our nation's capital have always deserved.
Public property should be open to the public. We should not leave citizens to peer at their own democracy from behind fences when there are less restrictive ways to achieve security.
As I've done for the Capitol and SCOTUS, I'll introduce a bill to prohibit permanent fencing at Lafayette Square.
If we want people leaving prison to be stable, productive members of their communities, we must ensure their physical and mental health struggles are addressed while they’re incarcerated.
I introduced a bill to prohibit BOP from charging copays for health care visits.
From giving DC the same access to service academies as states to giving DC mayor the same authority over the DCNG that the govs of states & territories have, these common-sense amendments will bring us closer to equality with the states and expand DC's power to decide how to use its own resources.
I filed several common-sense, pro-DC amendments to the FY 27 NDAA at the Rules Committee.
People Magazine has named my legislative assistant Raya Kenney as one of its “Heroes Among Us.”
As a 5th grader Raya contacted my office with the idea for a bill to honor Women who Worked on the Home Front in WWII. I introduced the bill, which was signed into law in 2023.
Security is not only about reducing lives lost. It's also about safeguarding the institutions, freedoms and values that anchor our country.
I introduced my bill to create a commission to recommend ways to maintain our tradition of openness while responding to security threats.
DC's local courts have faced a perpetual judicial vacancy crisis because nominees are stuck waiting for Senate confirmation while the Senate prioritizes confirming federal judges.
Today, Senator Van Hollen and I introduced a bill to streamline the process and improve access to justice.
A third video depicts three National Guard members aggressively detaining a woman who was seated on a bench outside a private residence.

A second video shows a group of National Guard personnel gathered around a ballot drop box, with one individual stating that they had not received instructions to avoid the vicinity of drop boxes.

One video shows a room of National Guard members with the DC flag spread on the ground with what appear to be Sharpie markers on top, suggesting the soldiers intended to sign the flag.
Soldiers have historically signed + kept captured flags from enemy territories as war trophies.

Federal officials deployed thousands of National Guard personnel into DC without the consent of the District's elected government.
Recent reports and videos raise serious questions about the Guard's conduct in DC, and I intend to get answers.
Thank you to UDC for recognizing my longstanding support of the university today.
It has been a privilege to champion the only public university in our nation's capital as it educates and empowers the next generation of leaders, public servants, and changemakers.
Sexual harassment remains a pervasive problem in workplaces across the country.
As the first woman to chair the EEOC, I introduced my bill to create a national commission to combat workplace sexual harassment.
Workers shouldn't bear the burden of exposing these failures alone.
