First Of The Month: Inside The “Cancel The Rent” Movement (Part II)
With policies and programs ending that were helping tenants, are we heading toward an avalanche of evictions in the D.C. region?
Don Beyer at a political event last May, while he was running for his first term in Congress.
From wrangling committee assignments to setting up offices, what happens in the initial weeks of a freshman legislator’s first term can be both confusing and course-setting for a career in Congress. But amid a whirlwind of meetings to attend and votes to cast, new legislators and their harried staffs must also attend to their first priority: their constituents. Kojo explores the juggling act of a freshman legislator and learns how lawmakers establish a road map for themselves and their constituents in those first frenetic weeks.
