On November 8, 2022, 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 Oye Owolewa was reelected to a second term.[1]
Primary elections were held on June 21, 2022. In only the Democratic race did any candidates appear on the ballot because no one filed to appear in the Republican, Libertarian, or Statehood Green primaries.
Though she did not appear on the primary ballot, Joyce Robinson-Paul, who has previously been the Statehood Green nominee for this position, most recently in 2020, won the nomination through write-ins.
In the November 8, 2022, general election, Owolewa defeated D.C. Statehood Green candidate Joyce Robinson-Paul.[4]
