It has mattered to me because there are two great American constitutional principles that are at the heart of the cause of D.C. statehood and that are violated every day in the current treatment of residents of the District of Columbia.
We got into this because our members about a year-and-a-half ago said to us, oh, my God, another Trump-Biden match. It's not good for the country. It offers no hope of bringing bipartisanship back to Washington regardless of who wins.
Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Stabenow, and members of the Committee.
54 percent of the American people, more than half of the American people, support D.C. statehood.
