"Today is an historic day for our country- and our democracy. For the first time in a generation, we will vote on whether hundreds of thousands of American citizens will finally have their voices counted in Congress." -Chair @RepMaloney
"The U.S. is the only democratic country that denies both voting rights in the national legislature and local self-government to the people of its capital. Ladies and gentlemen, as simply as I can say, that is absolutely wrong." -Chair @RepMaloney
"The District pays more in federal taxes than 22 states, and more per capita than any state. Think about it. It pays more than nearly half the states in this country. Yet D.C. residents have no vote in Congress. That is wrong." -Chair @RepMaloney
"The District has a larger population than two states, and it has a higher per capita personal income and gross domestic product than any state - any state. Yet, D.C. residents cannot consent to the federal laws that govern them. That is wrong." -Chair @RepMaloney
"The District's annual budget is bigger than 12 state budgets, and its bond rating is better than 35 states. Yet, D.C. residents cannot give final consent to their own laws. That is wrong." -Chair @RepMaloney
"All jurisdictions have an obligation to ensure that their officials serve the interests of their people. That obligation is no different in the District than in Ohio, North Carolina, or any other state." -Chair @RepMaloney
"The questions for Republicans are these:
Do you truly believe in no taxation without representation? Do you truly believe in states' rights? Do you truly believe that the federal government should stay out of local affairs?"
-Chair @RepMaloney
