About this title
People call Jamal Holtz the future mayor (or governor) of DC. At 25, he is a warm, extroverted, "old soul" passionately dedicated to establishing Washington, DC as The United States' newest State. 51st State explores the emerging national issue of DC statehood from the personal perspective of one of its youngest and most vibrant Gen Z leaders—set against the overlooked cultural backdrop of our capital city and a deep yet virtually unknown crack in our democracy.
