Let territorial residents decide their political status

Warnock supports allowing people in U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico to decide their political status for themselves. He says that if they choose statehood and are willing to accept its associated duties, they should receive full and equal representation in Congress.

Context: The support for statehood is conditional on residents choosing it and accepting its associated duties.

In their own words

people living in territories like Puerto Rico deserve to decide their political status for themselves.
