Friend,

Mitch McConnell has called the push for Washington, D.C. statehood “full-bore socialism,” saying “yeah, as long as I’m the majority leader of the Senate, none of that stuff is going anywhere.”

When Mitch McConnell doesn’t like something, that’s how you know it’s probably a really good idea. Sign this petition today to get us closer to achieving our goal of D.C. statehood and our goal of winning out over Mitch McConnell.

SIGN HERE

There’s a simple explanation for why Mitch McConnell doesn’t want to see Washington, D.C. become the 51st state -- because it would give more tax-paying Americans a voice in our democracy. Today, 700,000 Washington, D.C. residents have no representation in the government that dictates their local laws, courts, and budget. It’s an injustice that my colleagues and I are working to end, and with your support today, we can make Washington, D.C. statehood a reality!

This fall, the House Oversight Committee held the first hearing on D.C. statehood in over 25 years, and the GOP is already starting to feel the pressure. If you’re on the side of ending voter disenfranchisement and giving the residents of Washington, D.C. their rightful place in our democracy, will you sign this petition today?

Best,
Ted
