I was saddened to hear of the passing of the Honorable William T. Newman, Jr. Not only was Bill a great attorney, he also was the first African American to be elected to the Arlington County Board since Reconstruction.

President Trump is on track to be the most anti-worker, anti-union president in American history. In just one year, more than 300,000 federal workers have been fired, and collective-bargaining rights for over a million federal workers were stripped away. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/m...
