Alaska State Legislature expresses support for admitting Washington, D.C. as the 51st state, excluding a federal enclave containing the White House, U.S. Capitol, and Supreme Court

Approximately 700,000 D.C. residents currently pay federal taxes and serve in the military but lack voting representation in Congress, having only a non-voting House Delegate

On November 8, 2016, 85.69% of D.C. voters approved statehood and ratified a proposed state constitution

U.S. House of Representatives passed the Washington, D.C. Admission Act on June 26, 2020 and April 22, 2021, but the Senate has not acted

Resolution opposes federal interference with D.C.'s local self-government, including budget riders restricting use of locally raised tax revenue on issues like reproductive health and cannabis
