Recognizing the disenfranchisement of District of Columbia residents, calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, and expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2023, as "D.C. Statehood Day".

This resolution supports the designation of D.C. Statehood Day and calls on Congress to pass the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51 and S. 51).

Bill 118 H.Res. 340, also known as the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to address the disenfranchisement of residents of the District of Columbia by calling for the statehood of D.C. The bill recognizes that D.C. residents do not have full representation in Congress, despite paying federal taxes and serving in the military.

The Washington, D.C. Admission Act proposes making D.C. the 51st state of the United States, granting its residents full voting rights in Congress and the ability to elect their own representatives. The bill also expresses support for designating May 1, 2023, as "D.C. Statehood Day" to commemorate the potential achievement of statehood for the District of Columbia.

This legislation is significant as it addresses a long-standing issue of inequality and lack of representation for D.C. residents. By granting statehood to D.C., the bill aims to ensure that all American citizens have equal rights and opportunities for political participation.
