The Council of the District of Columbia met in an additional legislative session on Jan. 20, 2026, beginning at 12:12 p.m. and adjourning at 12:41 p.m. The meeting was recorded and broadcast on channel 13 and the council’s website.
The council approved a consent agenda of two ceremonial resolutions by voice vote. It then moved to the non-consent agenda, approving an appointment resolution to name Donnie Crawford to the at-large vacancy (resulting from Kenya McDuffie’s Jan. 5 resignation) by a roll call vote of 12–0. Immediately afterward, the council adopted an amendment to its rules of organization and committee membership that reassigns matters from the Committee on Business and Economic Development and seats the new member on multiple committees; that measure was approved by unanimous voice vote. Chairman Mendelson said the swearing-in for the appointee would occur at 3:00 p.m. in the chambers.
No votes failed or were tabled during the meeting; no public commenters spoke during the session recorded in the transcript. The council closed the meeting at 12:41 p.m.
