“Norton in Your Neighborhood” Tonight with Edgewood Civic Association to Focus on Historic D.C. Wins in Omnibus

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will host a "Norton in Your Neighborhood" community conversation with the Edgewood Civic Association tonight, Monday, December 21, 2015, from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., atInspired Teaching School (200 Douglas St. NW). Norton will engage Edgewood-area and other District of Columbia residents in a discussion of the major funding and legislative victories for the District in the omnibus spending bill, among them record level funding from an all-Republican Congress, her success in defending D.C.'s gun safety laws from elimination by Senate Republicans running for president, the highest number ever of House and Senate original cosponsors for her statehood bill, and other congressional issues of interest to the community.

"As we get ready to wrap up 2015, I want to give my constituents an overview of our accomplishments for D.C. and hear from them on what I need to be working on next year," Norton said.
