The resolution urges Congress to support the admission of Washington, D.C. as a state in the United States. It highlights the historical context of D.C.'s governance, noting that since its establishment, residents have been denied full representation and rights typically afforded to states, despite their contributions as taxpayers and citizens. The resolution references the 23rd Amendment, which allows D.C. to appoint electors for the President and Vice President, and the limited self-governance granted by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. It also points out that a significant majority of D.C. voters have expressed their desire for statehood through various initiatives, most recently in 2016.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses opposition to any federal actions that undermine local self-governance in D.C. and calls for Congress and the President to enact legislation that would grant statehood to the approximately 700,000 residents of Washington, D.C. It emphasizes the need for equal treatment of D.C. as a state, aligning with the principles of democracy and representation. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send copies to key federal officials, advocating for the recognition of D.C. as a state.
