And we should be pushing for DC statehood too. DC pays more income tax per capita than any existing state, and yet DC has zero representation in Congress? It's unbelievable.
DC residents can't call their senator or rep to talk about AHCA. Because they don't have a Senator or Rep. Plenty of DC residents have nothing to do with politics.
