A House Republican is set to revive efforts to repeal Washington’s Home Rule and return the district to congressional control for all local legislation.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) is planning to introduce legislation next year that would undo Washington’s local autonomy, instead requiring every local law to be approved by Congress before it can be enacted. Clyde has previously attempted to repeal the D.C.’s Home Rule but those efforts have largely been unsuccessful due to Democratic opposition in the Senate and White House.
