Letter from the Mayor

Dear Washingtonians,?

Today, after a week of negotiations and thousands of residents and friends making their voices heard, the U.S. Senate passed legislation that will allow the District Government to continue expending funds from our congressionally approved Fiscal Year 2025 local budget.?

We thank Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins as well as Vice Chair Patty Murray, Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Senator Tim Kaine, Senator Chris Van Hollen, and Senator Mark Warner for advancing a measure to restore DC¡¯s Fiscal Year 2025 approved budget.

Senate approval today is a major first step as we continue working with the House of Representatives on final passage to ensure critical services provided in the Nation¡¯s Capital, including our police officers, firefighters, teachers, medical services and hospital network, aren¡¯t haphazardly cut in the middle of the fiscal year.

DC is proud of our , balanced budgets, and strong bond ratings. Thank you to DC residents and schoolchildren, businesses, and our neighbors and friends for highlighting the certain consequences of blocking our local and approved spending. As we work toward final passage, we will continue to work shoulder to shoulder with the DC Council, Chief Financial Officer, and Attorney General to meet our obligations, provide services, and invest in our growth.

Sincerely,

Muriel Bowsercongress
