HI HR91

Urges the United States Congress to enact federal legislation granting statehood to the District of Columbia and to admit it as a state into the Union.

Notes that District of Columbia residents have a population of approximately 712,000 (2020 Census), comparable to states like Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, and North Dakota, yet lack full representation in Congress.

Highlights that District residents pay federal taxes and serve in the armed forces and federal juries while being denied full voting representation, and that 86 percent of District voters supported statehood in a November 8, 2016 referendum.

References the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51 and S. 51) introduced in the 117th Congress, which would grant the District two United States Senators and at least one United States Representative.

Directs certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Vice President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and Hawaii's congressional delegation for inclusion in the Congressional Record.
