My Republican COGR colleagues have held two hearings on fraud in MN, yet remain silent about the most corrupt administration in history. If they truly cared about accountability, they’d object to the firing of 17 inspectors general. I released my full remarks from today’s hearing.

I announced my office's Community Project Funding application process for Fiscal Year 2027. Applications must be submitted to NortonCommunityProjectFunding@mail.house.gov by 5:00 pm on March 6, 2026 to be considered. Details: bit.ly/4b9TVMb

The US is one of just six UN members that has not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, a treaty that would strengthen the legal foundation for combating gender discrimination. Today, I introduced a resolution urging the Senate to ratify CEDAW.

Last year, I urged Secretary Rubio to secure the release of Tofiq Yagublu, the father of one of my constituents. Tofiq is on another hunger strike to protest the violation of his human rights. I will continue to push for his release.

Tofig Yagublu is an Azerbaijani activist who, according to @hrw and @amnesty, is being held political prisoner for his political activities and to deter other government critics. Tofiq is also the father of one of my constituents. I urge @SecRubio to secure his release.

Norton Announces Community Project Funding Application Process

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today announced the process for applying to her office for Community Project Funding, formerly known as earmarks, for fiscal year 2027 (FY...

My office is now accepting art submissions for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. The submission deadline is March 27th at 5 p.m. Please visit my website, norton.house.gov/services/art..., for further information. We look forward to seeing the amazing creations from our young constituents!

I patiently await statements from members who have introduced bills to alter DC’s criminal laws announcing they no longer intend to move their legislation forward.

Last night, Pres. Trump declared “DC is now one of the safest cities in the country” and “We have almost no crime anymore.” If crime is at “the lowest level ever recorded,” as he says, there's no justification for Congress to continue meddling in DC’s local criminal laws.

Clean water isn't optional; it's fundamental to public health and safety. The recent wastewater spill into the Potomac underscores the urgent need for a secondary drinking water source so residents and the federal gov aren't left at the mercy of a single, aging system.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 23(source)

I’ve called on Sec. Rubio to expel and bar reentry of any Azerbaijani officials involved in the violent attack on peaceful protestors outside the Waldorf Astoria in DC. An assault on demonstrators is also an assault on the First Amendment. Those responsible must be held accountable.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 23(source)

Today I introduced legislation to guarantee that DC has full access to federal forestry research funds. DC is home to the nation’s only urban land-grant university, UDC. The District’s schools deserve access to the same resources as states.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 18(source)

Ramadan Kareem to all who observe. As this holy month begins, I’m wishing you and your loved ones peace, reflection, and an easy fast.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 17(source)

DC mourns the passing of former DC Shadow Senator Rev. Jesse Jackson, a tireless fighter for civil rights and #DCStatehood. Rev. Jackson believed in the power of ordinary people to bend history towards justice. His legacy challenges us to continue the work.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 14(source)

Although Frederick Douglass didn’t know his actual birthday, he celebrated it on Valentine’s Day. My #DCStatehood bill would name our 51st state "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth" to honor his work on equal rights for DC.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 11(source)

If Congress believes in democracy, it must trust the people of the District to manage their own affairs. Interference in locally enacted DC laws only strengthens the case for #DCStatehood.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 11(source)

Too often, “State” goes undefined in federal law — or excludes DC — leaving the District out of key decisions and funding. I’m pleased T&I adopted my amendment today ensuring DC can participate in critical decisions with GSA involving public buildings.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 11(source)

As the Senate votes today on a resolution to repeal a local DC tax law, Congress is once again moving to overturn legislation duly passed by DC’s elected officials. This isn’t oversight — it’s overreach.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 9(source)

This week the Senate will vote on a House-passed resolution to repeal a DC tax law. DC’s CFO warned it would force months-long delays in tax filing and require residents to refile returns. This isn’t oversight or governance. It’s administrative and fiscal sabotage of the nation’s capital.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialFeb 9(source)

I worked for civil rights leader Bayard Rustin when he served as organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. His leadership deserves special recognition, so @RepRitchie and I reintroduced our bill to create a stamp commemorating his life during Black History Month.
