@BarredinDC Big Peanut Johnson fan and if she doesn’t get his one, DC should definitely consider something near Nats Park. So much planned for that area I’m sure they can find a good place to honor her.
Washington, DC has more residents than Wyoming or Vermont. They pay federal taxes. But they don’t have equal representation or full control over their local laws & National Guard. I’m glad to once again cosponsor the DC statehood bill. Let's get this done. https://t.co/EcZC0hEcBU
Because we are not a state:
DC was shorted $750 million in COVID aid
DC had to get extra vaccine from MD & VA when we were given too few doses for our health workers
DC couldn’t deploy our own National Guard to restore order outside a House we can’t yet call home
