Commission on Human Rights Ashley Smith Confirmation Resolution of 2025

This resolution confirms Mayor Bowser's nomination of Ashley Smith to serve on the Commission on Human Rights, filling a vacant seat that expires December 31, 2027. It does not create new policies but formally ratifies an existing appointment for a specific term. The Commission on Human Rights, established under the Human Rights Act of 1977, focuses on enforcing anti-discrimination protections in the District. This procedural step requires Council approval to finalize Smith's appointment, as mandated by D.C. law.
