Guest, William Lightfoot, Councilman and Senior Trial Attorney

U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) Proposes Abolishing Home Rule
WHAT NEXT?
A Conversation with
COUNCILMEMBER BILL LIGHTFOOT

What Should We Expect?
SHADOW POLITICS

After serving two terms as an At-Large DC Councilmember, Bill Lightfoot remains active in politics and has chaired four mayoral campaigns. Lightfoot continues to serve on the DC Judicial Tenure and Disabilities Commission that reappoints and disciplines judges. Bill is an avid golfer, often enjoying comradery with members of the Washington, DC Chapter of the Pro-Duffers. He has served for 39 years as a lead attorney litigating multi-million dollar cases in the courts of the Metropolitan Washington Area.

Bill Lightfoot was on the Council when Congress imposed the &quot;Control Board&quot; on the DC government in 1995. Some Republican senators are now hinting on Twitter that they want to roll back Home Rule. Is local DC headed for another show-down with the federal government? Could this really happen? We&apos;ll ask Bill for his take on this latest threat to democracy in DC and what we can expect in the future.

Please join me for this interesting and provocative discussion!

Shadow Politics, March 26, 2023

Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog.

We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.
