RPNM Chairman statement on U.S. House passing bill for DC statehood.
Albuquerque, April 22–The following is a statement from RPNM Chairman Steve Pearce on today’s passage of a bill to approve the District of Columbia as the 51st state:
“This push for DC statehood is just a political ploy by Democrats to get more Democratic seats and to get more representation in Congress. It’s a power grab to keep the Biden agenda far to the left. Democrats will do anything to drive their liberal agenda, and this is a way to advance their wish list. I doubt it will clear the Senate because there likely won’t be enough Republican votes to pass this legislation.”
