Recognizing the disenfranchisement of District of Columbia residents, calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, and expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2025, as "D.C. Statehood Day".

This resolution expresses support for designating May 1, 2025, as "D.C. Statehood Day" and calls on Congress to pass the Washington, D.C. Admission Act to grant statehood to the District of Columbia. The resolution argues that D.C. residents are denied voting representation in Congress and full local self-government despite paying substantial federal taxes, and contends that Congress has constitutional authority to admit D.C. as a state. The resolution does not enact any binding legislation but rather expresses the sense of the House on these matters.
