Commission on African-American Affairs Mitchell Asante Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This bill is a confirmation resolution that officially appoints Mitchell Asante as a public member of the District of Columbia's Commission on African-American Affairs. The legislation confirms his appointment to fill a vacant seat left by Dr. Kimberly Jeffries Leonard, granting him a term that begins immediately and ends on July 8, 2026, with a subsequent term extending to July 8, 2029. By passing this resolution, the Council of the District of Columbia formalizes Mr. Asante's role on the commission, which was established to advise on issues affecting African-American residents. The document serves as a procedural step to complete the Mayor's nomination process rather than creating new policy or funding.
