DC Mayor Faces Scrutiny and Praise in Recent Events.
TL;DR Summary
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser sparred over the issue of statehood for the district. Higgins questioned Bowser's earlier testimony and asked if she had legal counsel present. Bowser stood by her remarks and pointed out that D.C. residents do not have voting representation in Congress. The two also debated the founders' intentions for D.C. as the capital city, with Higgins making clear he is against statehood. Bowser replied by sharing the bill that would admit D.C. as the 51st state.
