The #1 one job of our non-voting delegate is to provide us with complete voting rights. The results of your generational occupancy of the position are awful. The politics of 51st statehood are national. @Douglass_County, MD is the way forward economically & politically. Join us.
See my @washingtonpost letter to the editor responding to @ChuckLane1’s endorsement of retroceding DC to Maryland. My #DCStatehood bill, with a record 197 cosponsors, is the only way to make DC free and equal.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dc-statehood-or-bust/2019/02/22/f719e3ca-35f2-11e9-8375-e3dcf6b68558_story.html?utm_term=.4c9a5626e1a0 …

No one was more supportive of New Columbia than me. Thirty years later, I still patiently seek to end our disenfranchisement. Let's explore the issues together.

Retrocession to Md. provides access to better healthcare, affordable housing, and education. The weakest arguments for
#DCStatehood are population and taxes. Why would you stand against positive progress?@Douglass_County@GovLarryHogan@FedCityCouncilThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I support retrocession because statehood is never going to happen. Politics is the art of the possible, so I'd rather abandon statehood and negotiate a loose affiliation with Maryland to garner congressional representation.

US Rep
@EleanorNorton writes a@washingtonpost "letter to the editor" to point out how irrelevant retrocession idea is (=JimCrow Plan B to block#DCstatehood) & not supported by any politicians, & briefly references how punitive it would be as DC pays more taxes.#DCstatehoodNews - 2 more replies

DC should not be "free and equal" according to your definitions. It should be exactly as our Constitution describes, exactly what it is.
