This week our guest is Charles J. Moreland, the first elected United States Representative from D.C. for the District. We will be discussing DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's new statehood plan to put a referendum on the November Ballot to ask the people of the District of Columbia if they support statehood for DC. She serves as Washington, DC’s seventh elected Mayor. Sworn in on January 2, 2015, she pledged to bring a fresh start to the District of Columbia, create pathways to the middle class for residents, and foster a culture of inclusion, transparency and action.
