This resolution calls for Washington, D.C. to become a state with full representation in Congress, arguing that the district's residents are denied voting rights that other Americans have. The measure also proposes designating May 1, 2026, as "D.C. Statehood Day" to recognize the push for equal political representation for the roughly 700,000 people who live in the nation's capital but currently cannot vote for members of Congress or have voting senators.
