Mary: "I am proud to have been a member of the Council during our meeting on the DC Voting Rights Act with Senate Majority-Leader Harry Reid and Senator Joe Leiberman. I am especially pleased to have had the chance to arrange the meeting, as it gave us a terrific opportunity to highlight the bill, and the high-level support it has with the Senate leadership. As you know, the bill was successfully passed by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on June 13. I look forward to seeing it pass the full Senate."
