I believe Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia should become the 51st and 52nd states of the United States of America. I believe that it should be up to the residents of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia if they want to become a state.
Since I am Puerto Rican, I understand the challenges of what becoming a state brings to the island. I believe that the residents of Puerto Rico should have representation in Congress to hold their own elected officials accountable and to have a stepping stone for future change. I am open to a multi-year federal tax pause until the economy can fully recover.
I support any territory under the United States of America to become a state, gain its independence, or maintain the status quo based on the residents of said territories.
