Washington DC – Today, Councilmember Christina Henderson introduced the Commission on Public Compensation Establishment Amendment Act of 2022. This legislation would establish a Commission on Public Compensation to review and make recommendations on the compensation and stipend levels for the members of Council of the District Columbia, the Mayor, the Attorney General, the members of the State Board of Education, and several public commissions and boards.

The Office of DC Councilmember Christina Henderson (At-Large) is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Communications Director to develop and manage the overall messaging strategy for the member and the office.

The Office of At-Large DC Councilmember Christina Henderson is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Legislative Assistant to support the implementation of the policy and legislative strategy for the member. The Legislative Assistant will be responsible for working closely with the Legislative Director on researching and drafting legislation and amendments; preparing questions and statements for public hearings; and providing legislative advice and guidance to the member; among other duties.

“Every individual who has served their time deserves a fair chance to thrive in the District of Columbia once they return home. We know that women experience incarceration differently than men, and our re-entry services should reflect this reality,” said Councilmember Christina Henderson. “This legislation would establish a group to think critically about and advise DC government on the unique needs facing women who are returning citizens.”

The Task Force is currently working through a series of subcommittee meetings, workshops, field trips and stakeholder engagement sessions designed to provide enough background to formulate the best recommendations on projects funded through BIL formula funding and competitive grants. One of those projects, the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program, is top of mind for Mayor Bowser, Deputy Mayor Babers, Director Lott and members of the Transportation Innovation subcommittee. On May 18, Mayor Bowser led a community walk to highlight the importance of reconnecting communities once divided by highways.
