Councilmember Nadeau Responds to Bowser Elimination of the Ombudsperson for Children
Yesterday, Mayor Bowser disregarded the law when she unilaterally eliminated a District agency by completely defunding the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children in her Fiscal Year 2023 budget and for the rest of Fiscal Year 2022.

I will work with my colleagues to defeat this vindictive abdication of the Executive’s responsibility to protect the District’s children and restore 100 percent of the Ombudsperson’s funding.
