Urge Congress to grant statehood to Washington, D.C.

This resolution urges the U.S. Congress to grant statehood to Washington, D.C., which would allow its residents full voting representation in Congress. The bill highlights that D.C. residents currently pay federal taxes and serve in the military but lack voting representation in the House of Representatives. It notes that D.C. residents have supported statehood and that international organizations have criticized the lack of political equality for D.C. citizens. The resolution asks Congress to pass legislation similar to the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would admit D.C. as a state with two senators and at least one representative.
