Lacking DC Statehood, locally passed legislation only becomes law after going through Congress. Due to this, Congress has the power to kill any bill passed by DC Council. In 2023, a Republican controlled Congress successfully overturned DC’s revised criminal code. An incoming Trump’s Presidency and GOP controlled Senate presents a huge challenge for locally passed bills. To reduce the risk of constant federal interference, I implore Mayor Bowser and DC Council to pass much legislation as possible before the end of 2024.
