house 06/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to transfer most of the District of Columbia back to Maryland, making Maryland responsible for local governance and elections, while preserving a smaller Federal District under exclusive federal control as the nation’s capital. This legislation seeks to clarify legal authority, continue federal employee benefits, and ensure residents can vote in their home state’s federal elections after the change.

Merging DC back into Maryland might simplify governance, but it leaves a question mark on local identity—compromise or capitulation?

Combining DC with Maryland sounds tidy on paper, but in reality, it's like putting square pegs in round political holes.

Retrocession? More like retrogression—watching DC’s voice drown in Maryland’s tidal wave is a raw deal for democracy.

Finally putting DC back where it belongs—Statehood was a power grab disguised as progress.

Taking away DC’s independence is like telling an artist to paint only by numbers—creativity and self-governance get lost in the shuffle.

No more special treatment: time for DC residents to pull up their Maryland socks and play by state rules.
