Norton and Davis introduce bill to give DC a House vote
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-District of Columbia, and Rep. Tom Davis, R-Virginia, reintroduced legislation Tuesday that adds two more seats to the House of Representatives -- one based in D.C. and another in Utah.
"It is simply inexcusable that residents of the District of Columbia, the Capital of the Free World, the city that symbolizes our grand experiment in representative democracy - that these citizens do not have a representative with a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives, the People's House," Davis, the ranking member on the House Government reform committee, said in a statement. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, supported a similar measure in the last congressional session. -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
