This resolution expresses the State of Alabama's support for granting statehood to Washington, D.C., highlighting the historical context of voting rights for its residents. Initially, residents had the right to vote when the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788, but this was revoked by the Organic Act of 1801, which placed D.C. under Congressional authority. Although the Twenty-third Amendment allowed D.C. residents to vote for President and Vice President in 1961, they still lack full representation in Congress, despite having a population comparable to several states. The resolution notes that D.C. residents pay more federal taxes than residents of 22 states and have expressed overwhelming support for statehood through a 2016 referendum.

The resolution further emphasizes the lack of political equality for D.C. residents, citing interference from Congress in local governance and budgetary matters. It references the introduction of H.R. 51 and S. 51 in the 118th Congress, which aim to grant D.C. statehood and full citizenship rights, including representation in Congress. The resolution calls on Congress to enact legislation for D.C. statehood and urges the distribution of copies of the resolution to key federal officials, reinforcing Alabama's stance on this issue of democratic representation and self-governance for the residents of Washington, D.C.
