House committees to vote on bills on D.C. statehood and reparations By Grace Segers Inside the push for D.C. statehood Washington Two House committees will take up measures long championed by progressives on Wednesday, signaling that congressional Democrats are willing to move forward with their priorities despite narrow majorities in the House and Senate. One panel will vote on advancing a bill to admit Washington, D.C., as a state, while the other will take up a measure that would create a commission studying reparations for descendants of slaves. The D.C. statehood bill considered by the House Oversight Committee is broadly popular among Democrats, with 215 cosponsors. An identical version of the bill passed the House last year, but stalled in the Senate, where then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to bring it to the floor for a vote.
