This week, the full Commission voted on the budget again. This time we submitted a request that affirms the independence of the Commission, fully funds its operations, and provides a plan to backfill staffing gaps that threaten the agency’s ability to operate. See our statement here.

That proposal was made while I and two of my colleagues were locked out of our offices after being unlawfully removed by President Trump. On June 13, a federal judge ruled those firings to be illegal and we were allowed back to work.
