1. Do you support or oppose Congress approving this extension?
President Trump has announced plans to seek a “long-term extension” of federal control over the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department—deploying National Guard troops amid claims of rising crime, despite data showing a two-decade low in violent crime. This is generating sharp debate over federal authority, local governance, and public safety priorities.
Support the extension — Believe federal involvement is necessary for safety and law enforcement.
Oppose the extension — View it as an overreach that threatens D.C.’s autonomy and local rule.
Seek a compromise — Would favor a limited, time-bound extension conditional on specific benchmarks or outcomes.
Undecided / Need more information — Not sure yet, would like to see more data on crime trends and legal implications.
