District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser is pushing for the House of Representatives to pass legislation restoring full funding to the district government after it was left out of the stopgap funding bill.

The Senate passed a continuing resolution, which did not include restored funding for Washington, and a separate D.C. funding bill on Friday as it raced to avoid a government shutdown. The D.C. bill must now be taken up by the House and signed by President Donald Trump to prevent a scenario local officials claim would be “devastating” for Washington.
