To designate the area of Sumner Row between 16th Street Northwest and L Street Northwest in Washington, District of Columbia, as "Alexei Navalny Way".

# HR 1738 Summary **What the Bill Does:** HR 1738 would rename a section of Sumner Row in Washington, D.C. (between 16th and L Streets Northwest) to "Alexei Navalny Way." This is a symbolic designation that honors Alexei Navalny, a Russian opposition politician and anti-corruption activist who died in a Russian prison in 2024. **Who It Affects:** This bill primarily affects Washington, D.C. residents and visitors in that specific neighborhood.

It has no direct impact on federal law or policy—it's a commemorative measure meant to recognize Navalny's activism against authoritarianism and his role as a prominent critic of the Russian government. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Illinois) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been voted on by the full House. Congressional tributes like street designations are relatively common and often pass with bipartisan support when they proceed to a vote.
