September 6, 2019 Congress“I am here to make the case for D.C. statehood,” said Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, as she delivered the 2019-2020 Philip A. Hart Memorial Lecture at Georgetown Law on September 4. “To underscore the great injustice of disenfranchising more than 700,000 Washingtonians, taxpaying Americans, and to shed light on the fact that the injustices don’t end there — that our lack of statehood has far-reaching consequences on the day-to-day lives of the people I represent.”
