On November 4, 2014, 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. Incumbent Shadow Representative Nate Bennett-Fleming did not run for reelection and Franklin Garcia was elected in his place. The election was held concurrently with a mayoral election.
Primary elections were held on April 1, 2014.
The Republican and Statehood Green parties held primaries, but no candidates declared and the contests saw only write-in votes.
The general election took place on November 8, 2016. Garcia was the only candidate on the ballot and won reelection to a second term.
