Yes, I am not exactly clear on the details of the territory representatives, I’ve never lived in a territory. I prefer to live outside of the country if I get the chance.

DC does for some idiosyncratic reason that I've forgotten. I know Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands don't and Alaska didn't prior to statehood.

I believe those non-voting members of the house are called observers, or something like that, rather than representatives.

How to legally stop paying income tax in America

Then, they might not be paying taxes. But, they are territories, just like DC is not one of the states, but they still pay taxes, don’t they? Actually, these territories have non-voting representation in the House. I am not sure of the Senate, though. Are they represented or not with that situation? Those non-voting representatives participate as if they were a regular representative, but they can’t vote. So, are they represented or not?
