Members of Congress who have sponsored a statehood bill

4 Florida congresspeople have sponsored an admissions bill for Puerto Rico in the past.

If you see your representative here, please reach out, thank them, and ask them to sponsor HR 4901.

There’s one more group. These are people who have never sponsored an admissions bill for Puerto Rico. Does that mean that they’re against Puerto Rico? Maybe not. They might not have decided. They need to hear from you.
