INTRODUCING: The Restoring the Death Penalty in DC Act.

This legislation brings capital punishment back to our nation's capital for the most heinous crimes: first-degree murder, terrorism, the murder of law enforcement officers and public safety employees, child sexual abuse, and dealing deadly drugs to kids.

D.C. abolished the death penalty in 1980. For more than 46 years, capital punishment has been off the table in our nation's capital, and criminals have not paid the real price of justice.

Enough is enough. Our nation's capital should never be a place where the worst crimes imaginable come with anything less than the harshest consequence the law allows.

Restoring law and order starts with real punishments.

Restoring the Death Penalty in DC Act would make death available for first-degree murder, murder of a law enforcement officer or public safety employee, terrorism, first-degree child sexual abuse
