The Politics Hour

Council wage trench warfare over their rights just to appear on the ballot.

Former Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va, Dist. 11) talked about the potential for D.C. budget autonomy language to appear in the Republican platform. "I'd like to see it in the law of the land," Davis said. He said Paul Ryan would likely give D.C. a "second look" if Ryan were elected vice president.
