Alex Mayer, a United Kingdom Labour Party member representing the East of England region, spoke at a plenary session of the legislative body that governs the European Union to push the body to recognize D.C. residents’ lack of voting rights at the federal level. "Mayer said she was 'baffled' to learn that the District’s 700,000 residents lack voting representatives in the U.S. Congress" writes Christian Paz of NBC Washington.com referring to a June meeting with Shadow Sen. Paul Strauss (D-DC), the non-voting member of the Senate who represents the District of Columbia.
