Langworthy Fights D.C. Council Efforts to Give Voting Rights to Non-Citizens
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) took to the House Floor to support H.R. 192 to block the D.C. Council’s efforts to allow non-citizens to vote in elections.
“In Washington, D.C., crime rates are soaring, our public schools have suffered significant setbacks due to prolonged closures, and numerous buildings stand vacant, casting a shadow of neglect over our city. In the face of these issues, it’s disheartening to witness the D.C. Council prioritize a bill that aims to grant voting rights to individuals who are not citizens of the United States,” said Rep. Langworthy. “We’ve already seen this policy from Democrats in New York, and I was proud to lead the fight to successfully stop it — now we must do the same with this policy in D.C.”
