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, 2024, as "D.C. Statehood Day".

Bill 118 H.Res. 1190, also known as the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, 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 would grant D.C. statehood, giving its residents full voting rights in Congress and representation in the Electoral College. The bill also expresses support for designating May 1, 2024, as "D.C. Statehood Day" to commemorate the achievement of statehood for the District of Columbia.

This legislation is significant as it seeks to rectify the long-standing issue of D.C. residents being denied equal representation in the federal government. By granting statehood to D.C., the bill aims to ensure that all American citizens have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives.
