WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Andy Ogles (TN-05) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) have introduced The Bringing Oversight to Washington and Safety to Every Resident (BOWSER) Act to repeal the DC Home Rule Act and restore Congressional authority over the nation’s capital.
“The radically progressive regime of D.C. Mayor Bowser has left our nation’s Capital in crime-ridden shambles. Washington is now known for its homicides, rapes, drug overdoses, violence, theft, and homelessness. Bowser and her corrupt Washington City Council are incapable of managing the city. As such, it seems appropriate for Congress to reclaim its Constitutional authority and restore the nation’s Capital. The epicenter of not only the United States Federal Government but also the world geopolitics cannot continue to be a cesspool of Democrats’ failed policies,” said Congressman Ogles. “That’s why I’ve introduced the Bringing Oversight to Washington and Safety to Every Resident (BOWSER) Act, which would repeal the D.C. Home Rule Act. I am grateful to Senator Lee for his willingness to lead this critical legislation in the Senate.”
“The corruption, crime, and incompetence of the DC government has been an embarrassment to our nation’s capital for decades. It is long past time that Congress restored the honor and integrity of George Washington to the beautiful city which bears his name,” said Senator Mike Lee (R-UT).
Cosponsors (3): Reps. Chip Roy [TX-21], Anna Paulina Luna [FL-13], and Claudia Tenney [NY-24].
