I'm encouraged by the votes coming in for Joe Biden. States deserve great credit for doing their job. Voters have done theirs. Only patience is required now.

I did not win that big victory to return to Congress alone. I owe many thanks to my campaign manager Jeremiah Pope Jeremiah Pope, to Vernard Dickson a perfectionist in placing my campaign posters, and to congressional staff who helped on their private time.

I couldn’t choose who to represent me in the #Senate even though I’m a citizen and pay full federal taxes. I’ve heard my neighbors had the same problem. Senator Ron Johnson could your office help me with this highly irregular voting issue? #DCStatehood

So the second point here is... a total lie. D.C. has had 24 years of balanced budgets. (Congress, on the other hand, can't reliably pass a budget, period.) The city gets the same federal funds as any state, and a small annual payment for security and other such federal functions.

The #Quilts4DC project launched by DC Vote has begun and will continue until September 30th. The goal is #DCStatehood, or in the meantime, to collect quilts from all 50 states inspired by the opportunity for DC to become the 51st.

Many thanks to DC voters who gave me close to 90% of your votes on election day. Depend on me to make every effort to vindicate this strong vote, whether I'm in the majority or the minority.
