Welcome to the website of DC's official second party.

It's time to give attention to the second party in DC... The Statehood-Greens. After squashing the third-party GOP in the 2006 & 2008 election cycles, almost doubling them in total votes, our party is determined to win major victories.

The republicrats are not the answer...take a look around our site to see what makes us different. Our platform clearly shows where we stand on important issues such as healthcare, living wages, the environment, and other community matters important to everyday people. We are not a corporate party and thus none of our candidates or officers accept corporate bribes. We look forward to building our peace party with you.

Statehood Now!

Testimony

Opposition to Pepco's Proposed Rate Increase

Pepco’s request for a 14% increase in electricity rates should be rejected. A majority of our residents can ill afford such an increase especially in these times of economic depression. Such an increase will force many residents to choose between the potential shutoff of their electric supply, delay in rent or mortgage payment or cut in their food budget. The electric bill is effectively a regressive tax on an essential service since the same charge/kwh is applied regardless of income of the customer.

Public Roundtable on PR18-579: People’s Counsel Vicky Beasley Confirmation Resolution of 2009

We strongly endorse the previous testimony protesting the lack of transparency and a thorough vetting process in the selection of the People’s Counsel of the Office of the People’s Counsel...and urge that the DC City Council pass emergency legislation reappointing Betty Noel, who has served the public interest so well in her defense of consumers against the predatory corporate practices of the utilities under the purview of OPC.

Others have discussed key economic and financial impacts of DC Statehood. I will focus on the economic and financial policies now in place and the changes necessary to strengthen our prospects for DC Statehood, the only status that meets the test for full citizenship rights of our residents.
