Jan. 6, 2021 underscores the need for D.C. statehood: which would also be our first non-white majority state. | More people live in Washington, D.C. than in either Vermont or Wyoming. Yet the 700,000 Americans living in the district exist in a unique legal limbo. This grey area has left D.C. citizens without congressional representation for its entire existence.
