For decades, there’s been discussion about making our nation’s capital city the 51st state. In 1993, the House voted on a D.C. statehood bill for the first time ever, with 277 representatives from both parties voting no. Many of those once
no votes now champion the proposal and voted in support of statehood last week. I disagree with my Democrat colleagues who support statehood for D.C., but not for the reasons some of the far left might lead you to believe.
