We are working to ensure that only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in District of Columbia elections, require the District to follow federal immigration laws, restore collective bargaining rights related to police discipline, and strengthen drug enforcement laws concerning fentanyl substances. Our goal is to address voting eligibility, law enforcement accountability, and public safety through these measures.
