Current elected officials

U.S. House of Representatives

The District of Columbia is not a U.S. state and therefore has no voting representation. Instead, constituents in the district elect a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. The current delegate is a Democrat.

City-wide executive officials

District of Columbia has two city-wide elected executive officials: the Mayor and the Attorney General. Both officials are Democrats.

Council of the District of Columbia

The Council of the District of Columbia is the legislative branch of the local government of the District of Columbia. Democrats hold 11 of the 13 seats in the council.

Shadow congressperson

The posts of shadow United States Senator and shadow United States Representative are held by elected or appointed government officials from subnational polities of the United States that lack congressional vote. While these officials are not seated in either chamber of Congress, they seek for their subnational polity to gain voting rights in Congress.
In District of Columbia, such officeholders are elected. All of them are Democrats.
