Rep. Hoyle Statement on House Republicans’ Overreach into D.C. Home Rule

For Immediate Release: June 10, 2025 

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – This week, U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) will vote ‘No’ on three bills that would overturn the will of Washington, D.C. residents.

Ahead of the vote, Representative Hoyle released the following statement:

“I believe in Home Rule, and I wouldn’t want Washington, D.C. telling Eugene and Roseburg how to run their cities. Whether or not I agree with D.C. law is irrelevant, that is up to the people of D.C. I came here to represent the Central and South Coast of Oregon which is why I will vote no on every single bill that overrides the decisions of Washington, D.C.’s elected officials.”
