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, 2025, as "D.C. Statehood Day".

This resolution (HRES 374) recognizes that District of Columbia residents lack voting representation in Congress despite paying federal taxes, and it calls for statehood by urging Congress to pass the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51). It specifically supports designating May 1, 2025, as "D.C. Statehood Day" to highlight the ongoing effort for voting rights. The resolution does not create new laws or change current voting rights but formally expresses the House's position in favor of DC statehood and the Admission Act. It directly affects DC residents by affirming their long-standing disenfranchisement and the need for voting representation. The key mechanism is a symbolic call to action for Congress, referencing the constitutional authority to admit new states.
