Recognizing the disenfranchisement of District of Columbia residents, calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, and expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2023, as "D.C. Statehood Day".

This resolution (HRES 340) is a symbolic House of Representatives measure recognizing that District of Columbia residents lack voting representation in Congress and pay federal taxes without full self-government. It specifically calls on Congress to pass the existing Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51/S. 51), which would admit D.C. as a state named "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth." The resolution also proposes designating May 1, 2023, as "D.C. Statehood Day" to highlight the ongoing effort for voting rights. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change laws or voting rights but formally expresses support for statehood through the proposed legislation.
