Friend,
From the moment she was elected to Congress, Jennifer made it clear that she supported D.C. statehood. She was one of the first members of her Congressional class to take this public position.
Jennifer believes that if you pay taxes, you deserve to be represented in Congress -- and she recognizes that for well over 700,000 Americans in our nation's capital, that representation is being unfairly denied.
D.C. is a diverse city that's home to incredible people from so many walks of life, from teachers, community leaders, to service industry and hospitality workers. Jennifer is proud to stand with her neighbors across the river, and she'll speak out whenever they're denied a voice.
So she's excited that the House will be voting next week on legislation to grant statehood to Washington, D.C. With a pro-statehood President now in the White House, and a Democratic Senate, D.C. statehood will be closer to becoming a reality than ever before if it passes the House.
But we still face strong opposition. 22 Republican Attorneys General are trying to argue that statehood is unconstitutional, and there's a massive right-wing disinformation machine that's spreading lies -- all in the name of continued voter suppression. So it's critical that we demonstrate strong support for D.C. statehood from people all across the country.
That's why Jennifer is trying to get 15,000 signatures for D.C. statehood from people like you. Will you add your name to stand with her today?
Thank you so much,
Team Wexton
