Hey there, I’m Amir.
I’m running for Delegate to the House of Representatives
in the DC General Election on November 3rd, 2020.
The time is now.
Did you know?
Eleanor Holmes Norton has been in office for 15 terms. This is her 30th year in office.
Prior to Congresswoman Norton, Walter Fauntroy held the office from its inception in 1971 until 1991, for 20 years.
In 50 years, only 2 people have held the office of Delegate to the House of Representatives.
Here are the facts:
DC citizens have never been allowed to have full voting rights in Congress.
DC pays more federal taxes than 12 states:
Mississippi : $6,575,470
District Of Columbia : $6,050,149
New Mexico : $5,769,528
Hawaii : $5,687,524
Idaho : $5,273,653
Rhode Island : $4,850,471

North Dakota : $3,372,448
Alaska : $3,283,668
Wyoming : $3,084,085

DC residents pay the highest percentage of their income in federal taxes of any state, an average of 17.40%.
Although DC has an adult population of just 575,000 and is not a state, the District of Columbia has the highest tax burden of any state, an average of $10,517.59 per adult resident.
It’s time to end Taxation Without Representation.
