I am proud to co-lead this legislation with my colleague Rep. Barrett to end the practice of assisted suicide in our nation’s capital and stand up for the dignity of all persons in our nation.

Crawford says he will co-lead a bill to end assisted suicide in D.C. and block future D.C. laws permitting it.

Evidence

DC Health's 2024 annual report says the District of Columbia Death with Dignity Act remains in effect and that, during the Feb. 19, 2023-Feb. 18, 2024 reporting period, 11 prescriptions were written and 11 qualified patients received the medication.

Official D.C. health reporting shows the assisted-dying regime is still operating in the District, which cuts against any claim that Crawford has already delivered a federal end to the law. In this lookback window, I found no official repeal action; the claim remains unresolved.

The available evidence indicates the promised outcome has not been achieved: Washington, D.C.'s Death with Dignity Act was still in effect in the 2023-2024 reporting period, and the regime was still operating. That weighs against a finding of delivery. But the record provided does not show enough about Crawford's own legislative actions, sponsorship, or co-lead role to conclude either full credit or a definitive failed attempt. Given the active federal office context and the limited evidence of candidate-specific action, the most supportable judgment is unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
