ABOUT THE EVENT
On DC Statehood Day, let's gather — and get ready for the most consequential Midterm elections the District has ever faced.
DC Statehood PAC is building a national campaign to elect a pro-DC Congress in 2026 and expand that coalition through 2028. Funds raised at this event will go toward supporting pro-DC Congressional candidates in the 2026 election cycle, and opposing those who want to block our rights and interfere with the District's Home Rule.
FEATURED SPEAKERS INCLUDE
Brian Schwalb, Attorney General, District of Columbia
Andy Shallal, Founder and Owner, Busboys and Poets

WHY NOW
This Administration has shown that having a "no-representation zone" for more than 700,000 tax-paying U.S. citizens in our nation's capital is a national vulnerability. We've seen how an anti-democratic Administration and extremists in Congress can run roughshod over the District — terrorizing neighborhoods, shutting down local services, and stripping DC residents of their basic right to self-governance.
DC taxpayers pay more in federal taxes per capita than residents in any state in the union, yet have no representation in Congress. Washington, DC has one of the most educated and informed populations in the country, yet we are treated like second-class citizens.
But the pendulum is swinging. We intend to use this heightened national attention to push for full representation and self-governance — essential not only for DC residents, but as a reaffirmation of America's founding ideals, especially meaningful as we mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

ABOUT DC STATEHOOD PAC
We came together in 2021 as a group of DC residents with one mission: full and equal voting representation in Congress for the 700,000+ Americans who call DC home. DC Statehood PAC provides the administrative, legal, and fundraising infrastructure to build on the work of DC Statehood grassroots advocates across the country. We have endorsed and supported pro-DC candidates for federal office since 2021.
