congresswoman

Despite being the Democratic leader of the nation’s second-largest city in an overwhelmingly blue state and a veteran congresswoman, it’s unclear how much weight Bass’ endorsement will have in the governor’s race.

There has been no greater advocate for D.C. statehood than the congresswoman, who first introduced legislation demanding recognition in 1991.

Donna Brazile, the former Democratic National Committee chair who managed Norton’s successful 1990 campaign and remains a supporter and close confidante, said the congresswoman remains engaged and “maintains a robust schedule.”

He was noncommittal, the congresswoman told reporters.

“Our defense of Congresswoman McIver, and our work to hold Mr. Mills accountable are both in service of this Caucus’ relentless pursuit of justice,” CBC Chair Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y. , who read the entirety of the Mills’ censure resolution on the House Floor on Wednesday, said in a statement to Politico.
