Mmmhmm. Observer status only.<p>You can vote for president, but you have no voting congressman.<p>Cultural tidbit: If you&#x27;re a resident of the D.C. area, and you live in Southern Maryland or Northern Virginia, be careful not to call yourself a Washingtonian. Residents will kinda frown at that. There&#x27;s a perception that sometimes residents from the neighboring states will make it seem (unintentionally or not) that they&#x27;re part of the city itself, without paying the cost of being an actual resident: No representation.<p>Consider that as you will. I always thought it was yet another little quirk of what is a pretty unique city.<p>(I&#x27;m from Northern Virginia. ;)
