It’s critical the Senate pass #S51 to grant our neighbors in D.C equal access to our democracy. I’m honored to be joining Sen.

Senator Tom Carper

For years, I have fought alongside @EleanorNorton and @MayorBowser to make #DCStatehood a reality and to give the over 700,000 D.C. residents a voice, vote, and full representation in Congress. Today, I'm proud to introduce #S51 to make D.C. the 51st state in our Union.
