STATEHOOD FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

The population of the District of Columbia was 689,545 in 2020. In that same year, the population of Wyoming was 595,653. Yet the people of Wyoming enjoy statehood including electing 2 senators and one representative to Congress. Why do the people of DC not enjoy the same representation? Is it because DC has a large Black population and Wyoming is mostly White? Is it because most of the people in DC are Democrats and most of those in Wyoming are Republicans? The American citizens of DC deserve the same representation as those of Wyoming. Our fellow Americans in DC deserve the same citizenship as the rest of us. America needs statehood for the District of Columbia.
