DC's US Rep Oye condemns efforts to defund Statehood
Commission
Tennessee Representative Ogles proposed an amendment to
H.R. 8773 to defund the DC Statehood Commission, also known
as the New Columbia Statehood Commission. The commission
advocates for Washington, D.C. to become the 51st state by
lobbying Congress, educating the public, drafting legislation,
and engaging with the community to build support for statehood.
This proposal is seen as another tactic to restrict the
representational autonomy of D.C.'s citizens.
"This amendment is just another attempt to silence DC in our
pursuit of equality and fairness" says Rep Oye "Mr. Ogles has
once again put politics over people by trying to defund DC's
Statehood Commission. For the past decade, DC Senators and
Representatives have reached across both aisles, amplifying our
cause for DC Statehood and strengthening our American
Democracy. Since 2021, as DC's Representatives, I have gone to
different states, both Republican and Democratic led, to promote
DC Statehood. Along with other statehood champions, we have
introduced and/or passed DC Statehood resolutions across this
country. I have appeared on worldwide platforms to advance our
cause. Mr. Ogle's proposed amendment proves that forces
against Democracy are noticing our efforts. As DC's
Representative, I vow to fight back against these threats, scale
up the advocacy and present our noble cause to all of America.
We in DC deserve our voices heard, our vote counted, and our
rights protected. Our only path forward is DC Statehood."
