Steny Hoyer, D-Md.; Gerry Connolly, D-Va.; Don Beyer, D-Va.; Jamie Raskin, D-Md.; and Eleanor Holmes-Norton, D-D.C.; as well as Reps.-elect Jennifer Wexton, D-Va.; and David Trone, D-Md. \u2014 announced Jan. 2 that the first votes of the new Congress would be to remove the rule from use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith our first votes, House Democrats \u2014 led by members from the National Capital Region \u2014 will demonstrate our commitment to restoring support for the federal workforce in Congress. By eliminating the Holman Rule from the House Rules package for the 116th Congress, Democrats will end an underhanded GOP tactic to sneak attacks on federal employees into must-pass bills,\u201d the delegation said in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we remove the Holman Rule, we are also seeking solutions to end <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/budget\/2018\/12\/21\/shutdown-watch-house-passes-cr-with-border-wall-funding\/\" target=_blank>Trump\u2019s government shutdown<\/a> and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/pay-benefits\/2018\/12\/29\/trump-formalizes-federal-pay-freeze-for-2019\/\" target=_blank>2019 pay freeze for the civil service<\/a>. Federal employees work in every Congressional district to provide vital services that help keep our nation healthy, safe, and strong, and their ill treatment at the hands of the Trump administration and Republican leaders is one of the most disgraceful elements of the past two years. That era is now over, and we will continue to ensure that House Democrats use our majority to fight for feds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Champions of the Holman Rule have said it supports Congress\u2019s power of the purse, while opponents say that the rule allows lawmakers to carry out political agendas against individual employees or offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 116th Congress will meet and begin considering legislation Jan. 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Holman Rule enables lawmakers to cut
