In his second decade as DC Council Chair, Phil Mendelson will be at the forefront dealing with challenges from Congress and the Administration. What effect will Congress and the White House have on DC governance and, in particular, Home Rule? How will the city need to respond? Over the more than 40 years that Chairman Mendelson has been a public servant, he has remained a strong advocate of progressive policies that have benefitted individuals throughout the city.
