Sen. Susan Collins supports DC joining Maryland instead of DC statehood
CNN
Sen. Susan Collins is the latest Republican with an alternative suggestion for Washington, DC's push for statehood: Join another state.
"There is a way to ensure that the residents of DC have voting representation in Congress, and that is for DC to become part of Maryland, just as parts of DC became parts of Virginia many years ago," the Maine Republican told Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday. "That would give the residents of DC a new House member, and they would be represented in the Senate by Maryland senators," Collins said.
