Performance oversight with District agencies is underway! These hearings allow the Council and the public to receive updates from government agencies and hear directly from residents about their experiences.

Here’s a look at our schedule for the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety.

I am thrilled President Biden has signed the bill giving DC control of the RFK stadium campus into law.

With this transfer, the District reclaims our ability to focus on developing housing, recreation space, & entertainment as well as continue our efforts for the Washington Commanders return home.

Today, we wrapped up the Judiciary Committee's work for the year and I am so proud of the progress. Violent crime is down 35% and 91% of 911 calls are being answered in 15 seconds or less.

Everyone has the right to be safe in our city. The work continues in 2025 to ensure this is true for us all.
