Introduced
Summary
Supports D.C. statehood and a call for passage of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act. This resolution would recognize the long history of disenfranchisement for District residents and note that they pay high federal taxes per capita while lacking voting representation and full local self-government. It would cite constitutional grounds for admitting a new State and state that no other State must consent. The resolution would also support designating May 1, 2026 as "D.C. Statehood Day."
