On 6 November 1990, the District of Columbia held a U.S. House of Representatives election for its shadow representative. Unlike its non-voting delegate, the shadow representative is only recognized by the district and is not officially sworn or seated. Democratic nominee Charles Moreland won the election by a large margin against his opponents.[1]
Primary elections were held on 12 September 1990.
Initially, Moreland and Hunter were tied at 48% before Moreland was able to secure the nomination. The exact results of the primary are unknown.[2]
Tom Chorlton, a registered lobbyist, was the only Statehood Party candidate for representative and thus won the nomination.[2]
Howard Lamar Jones, a clinical psychologist, was unopposed in the GOP contest for representative and so won the nomination.[2]
The general election took place on 6 November 1990. Democratic nominee Charles Moreland won the election by a margin of 74,897 votes against his foremost opponent Republican nominee Howard Lamar Jones, thereby gaining Democratic control over the new office of Shadow Representative. Moreland's term began on 3 January 1991.[3]
