We believe that residents of the District of Columbia should have voting rights in the US Senate and House of Representatives equal to those of all other Americans.
We support Maryland-based solutions that provide full voting rights in the House and Senate and real home-rule for the residents of the District of Columbia.
Our two-part plan calls for Congress to restore the right of DC residents to vote as part of the Maryland electorate for congressional representation, and to support Washington becoming a new home-rule city in Maryland.

DC Demographics

The people of the District of Columbia are on average wealthier, more highly educated, and more Democratic than Marylanders.
Los Angeles County has a population greater than 42 states. There are 14 other California counties with a population larger than the District of Columbia. None of these counties have their own Senators because Senators come from States, not counties.
If the District of Columbia became a home-rule city in the State of Maryland, it would be the fifth largest jurisdiction in Maryland.
The smallest state has a land mass more than 17 times that of the District of Columbia.
