Eleanor Holmes Norton: Eleanor Holmes Norton, the long-serving congressional delegate for United States — Washington (state), decided not to seek reelection after 18 terms, leading to a new political era for the city. Her decision was influenced by pressure from critics regarding her response to the Trump administration's actions and concerns about her age.

Robert White Jr.: Robert White Jr. won the Democratic primary to become United States — Washington (state)'s nonvoting delegate to Congress, succeeding Eleanor Holmes Norton. He is expected to bring a fresh voice to the role and prioritize D.C. statehood and pushing back on federal interference.
