In her latest Hearing the Council video interview, At-Large Councilmember Christina Henderson talked about three policy areas close to her heart. First, we discussed her "Sense of the Council" bill encouraging the Mayor to declare the opioid crisis in the District (and its resultant 400 deaths a year) a public health emergency. Second, we talked about her bill from last year giving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients a boost in their monthly food allotment. And third, we discussed her proposed bill to provide all District public school students with free school lunch. Plus, we closed out discussing Halloween, and her advice on how to build a "Good Frankenstein Councilmember" and a " Bad Frankenstein Councilmember" by combining the best and worst traits of her Council colleagues. Don't miss it!
