Rep. Jared Moskowitz wants to end the ban on sneakers in the historic Speaker's Lobby, per Politico.
Moskowitz is pushing to curb the rule for reporters — and ultimately lawmakers — who enter the room.
A reporter told Politico that the ability to wear sneakers could help many reporters who are constantly on the run.
And Moskowitz — a 42-year-old sneakerhead with a penchant for Air Jordans — is looking to relax the rules governing footwear in the speaker's lobby.
"Obviously, there is tradition here," Moskowitz told Politico in an interview.
