D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser expressed optimism about the RFK legislation, stating, 'Today's vote marks a pivotal moment in our efforts to unlock the potential of the RFK Campus.' Bowser emphasized the importance of this legislation for D.C. to gain control of the stadium site, envisioning development possibilities that would revitalize the area and potentially bring back the Washington Commanders. She is keen on moving the initiative forward before the end of the year.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore criticized the RFK proposal, stating it is 'not in the best interest of the American taxpayer.' His opposition emphasizes the contention surrounding the deal, highlighting concerns over prioritizing one state’s interests over the regional implications and the taxpayer consequences. His comment points to a deeper regional rivalry that permeates discussions about the future of the Commanders' home.
Senator Ben Cardin expressed his skepticism about the RFK proposal, saying, 'Congress should not weigh in as to creating a favorite spot for the next Commanders stadium.' This statement underscores the complexity of congressional involvement in local stadium decisions, suggesting that such actions might unfairly advantage one location over another, particularly between D.C. and Maryland.
