On November 7, 2000, 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. One-term incumbent Tom Bryant declined to run for reelection and was succeeded by fellow Democrat Ray Browne.
Primary elections were held on September 12. Browne, Thomas, and Olusegun faced no opposition while Shumake did not appear on the primary ballot.[2]
The general election took place on November 7, 2000.
