On March 14, DC invited select candidates for DC mayor and Delegate to participate in our 2026 Candidate Forum. Watch the recorded event.

At the end of our Candidate Forum we conducted a straw poll of the attendees. Here are the results.

Here are the Mayoral and Delegate candidate scores ahead of the March 14th Free DC Candidate Forum.

Today we are proud to introduce the members of Free DC's inaugural Elections Committee.

DC needs elected leaders who will fight federal attacks, not assist them. In recognition of this, Free DC will run a formal candidate endorsements process for DC’s 2026 campaign cycle.
