Remove Wasteful, Inefficient, and Harmful D.C. Riders
Micromanaging the day-to-day affairs of D.C. is now what voters elected members of Congress to accomplish. Members of Congress should not be saddled with managing the day-to-day affairs of the District. Riders are additions to proposed legislation, which usually have little or no connection to the legislation they are attached to. For years, D.C. has been harmed by riders placed on federal budget bills by members of Congress who do not represent D.C. The FY 26 Financial Services and General Government (FSSG) Appropriations bill includes riders that micro-manage D.C. These riders must be removed from the bill.
