FACT: Washington D.C. is more populous than multiple states, but the 700,000+ Americans who live there have zero representation in the Senate.
FACT: For 20 years, both Republicans and Democrats called for D.C. statehood – it’s pro-democracy to represent all Americans.
FACT: Kevin McCarthy’s gang of MAGA Republicans are fighting the Washington, D.C. Admission Act because it would add two Democratic Senators and crush their majorities for a generation!
We’re thrilled!Congresswoman Norton of D.C. just introduced a D.C. statehood bill and 165 Democrats have already joined as co-sponsors.
Statement of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton on the Introduction of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act
“The nearly 700,000 D.C. residents, who have all the obligations of American citizenship, including paying all federal taxes and serving in the armed forces, are denied voting representation in Congress and full local self-government. This bill would give D.C. residents the voting representation in Congress and full local self-government they have been denied for more than 220 years.”
Friend, even President Biden is joining the fight and commanding Congress to take action on this critical bill:
Two more Democratic Senators would change everything.
