Arizona House of Representatives urges U.S. Congress to enact legislation granting citizens of Washington, D.C. a voting representative in the House of Representatives.

Asserts that D.C. residents pay taxes and serve in the military but lack congressional representation, violating the democratic principle of "no taxation without representation."

Notes that D.C. citizens are excluded from voting on issues affecting their lives, including public health, safety, education, economic policies, and housing.

Calls for Congress to increase the size of the U.S. House of Representatives to provide D.C. with a voting member.

Directs Arizona's Secretary of State to send copies of the memorial to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the House, and Arizona's congressional delegation.
