Mmmm, kind of. Some people are lobbying for congresspeople to represent DC, but as of right now, they have silent representatives. As in, they are elected, and they get to go to Congress and participate in the debates, and make their opinions known, but they have no vote. As of 1961 people in DC can vote in presidential elections as well.
