Hi there,
The Center for American Progress finds that “statehood for both the District [of Columbia] and Puerto Rico will result in three, maybe four of the new senators being Democrats.” That’s the exact number of seats Democrats need to retake the Senate if Joe Biden wins the presidency.
Adding these two new states wouldn’t just even the political odds -- it would also give representation to the millions of Americans who live in D.C. and Puerto Rico, American citizens who pay federal taxes but lack a voice in Congress. Americans are divided, however, on whether or not they support adding two more stars to the flag -- that’s why we’re reaching out to you now. Tell us your view:
Do you support statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico?
Thank you for participating in our survey!
