On November 5, 2002, 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. First-term incumbent Shadow Representative Ray Browne was successfully reelected.
Primary elections were held on September 10.
A Republican primary was held but no candidates filed and only write-in votes were cast. Adam Eidinger was the only Statehood-Green candidate and received just under 90% of the vote.
The general election took place on November 2, 2002.
