Don Young supports Puerto Rico statehood

Alaska Congressman Don Young is supporting the addition of a new State of the Union.
Alaska’s representative observed a statehood vote on Puerto Rico last week. Approximately 97 percent of voters cast ballots in favor of Puerto Rico becoming a state.
It’s currently a U.S. territory whose congressional representative can’t vote on issues.
Young says the arguments against statehood are familiar.
“We were the 49th state, and I heard the same arguments then,” Young said
