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.
