D.C. STATEHOOD: Per capita D.C. pays more federal taxes than any state in the country but does not have full representation. I recently sat down with the Shadow Senator Paul Strauss who has represented the city for years without a voice in Congress. @SenPaulStrauss@ABC7GMW
Our Honorary Member @SenPaulStrauss speaking on #CNN on the new momentum in Congress for #Washington DC to be granted statehood. Last week President @JoeBiden endorsed the idea.
Lack of #DCStatehood has become a threat to DC residents’ health & safety. DC didn’t get COVID aid. DC couldn’t call the National Guard during Jan.6 civil unrest.—DC Shadow Senator Paul Strauss says statehood is in the national interest & corrects an historic underrepresentation.
