"the results have often been fatal."

"I think, in fact, I know that I am the only Member of this Committee that voted for D.C. Statehood in 1993."

"Crime should never be an opportunity to demonize and vilify a whole population of American citizens."

"The statehood petition, which Congresswoman Norton has introduced, makes all the sense in the world."
