The District still doesn't have a vote in Congress, but it is moving closer to gaining some new representatives in the Capitol.

The House Administration Committee is expected to approve a bill Wednesday that would add two statues from the District to the National Statuary Hall Collection, which includes statues of historical luminaries from each state.
