There are so many obvious reasons to be in favor of DC statehood, but I'm particularly excited for the opportunity for a totally urban state to be represented at the national level. Cities are structurally underrepresented in state and national politics, despite being the economic engines of our country. The creation of our first city-state could have significant long term benefits for the citizens of every city in the country.
