      Last week, @RepJimBanks introduced a bill that would make DC use local funds to pay for private schools. Congress has repeatedly rejected private school vouchers nationally, yet Banks hypocritically would impose them on my district. Won’t happen, Jim. #HandsOffDC

      I kept such politically self-serving interference from passing even when Democrats were in the minority, and I will do the same with our House majority. Serve your own constituents, @RepJimBanks. #HandsOffDC

      .@eleanornorton, I'm sorry we haven't had the chance to meet on the House floor, but I'm disappointed to learn you aren't as interested in preventing bullying in schools as I am. It's clear you didn't read my bill. That's too bad...

      ...It gives parents options to help children being bullied or facing violence in school such as therapy, safe transportation & more... I should also note that the Constitution gives Congress jurisdiction over DC. It is why I vote and you do not. #HandsOffTheConstitution

      Hiding behind bogus “bullying” claims won’t work, @RepJimBanks. You claim to support small government, yet try to abuse a local jurisdiction that did not elect you. Bullying is a national, not a DC problem. Why not create a national program if you’re so concerned, Jim?

          Replying to @EleanorNorton

          Glad to keep engaging you on this @EleanorNorton. Yes, "bullying" is a prevalent school-safety issue & it’s a shame you think violence in schools in bogus. It's easy to criticize a proposal, but until you offer your own to address these issues it’s hard to take you too seriously.
