Sorry that information was incorrect. She was the previous non-voting member of the House through the beginning of 2025. However, she is a member of the New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico (PNP) which is more aligned with the Republican Party than Democrats. She was in fact chair of the Puerto Rico Republican Party. And she is now the head of Puerto Rican Government - as effectively a Republican.

You completely fail to explain how adding miniscule population states gives more power to California. How in the world would having 4 Senators from states with populations under 50,000 gives more power to California with a population of over 38 million? It's bad enough that California has the same number of Senators as Wyoming and only 52 Representives with 67 times the population . And you think California would gain power by adding states for which California has over 800 times their population? It makes no sense.

DC should be a state. Puerto Rico should be a state if they want to be (which has never been proven they do). It would be beyond counterproductive to add the other territories as states. There are over 800 cities in the US with populations greater than the smallest territories. Should they all be made states as well? If not, then why should those territories? The idea is absolutely insane.
