Commission on Poverty Dr. Marla Dean Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This bill confirms Dr. Marla Dean's reappointment to the Commission on Poverty, a District of Columbia advisory body focused on addressing poverty and economic inequality. The resolution officially approves her nomination by Mayor Muriel Bowser for a term ending in November 2028, allowing her to continue serving as an at-large representative member. The confirmation process follows existing legal requirements for appointing commission members and requires the Council to transmit the resolution to both the nominee and the Mayor's office. This procedural measure enables Dr. Dean to continue her work on poverty reduction strategies without interruption.
