Commission on Poverty David Schultz Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This bill is a confirmation resolution that formally approves David Schultz's appointment as the Ward 5 representative on the District of Columbia's Commission on Poverty, filling a vacant seat for the remainder of the term ending November 18, 2026. The resolution confirms Schultz, a Ward 5 resident with experience in social justice and criminal justice reform, to serve on the commission established by the 2020 Commission on Poverty Establishment Amendment Act. The bill requires the Council to transmit a copy of the resolution to both the nominee and the Mayor's Office upon adoption, with immediate effect. This procedural measure does not create new policy but validates an existing appointment to a pre-existing advisory body focused on poverty reduction strategies.
