Our 2026 Endorsements Guide

DC’s 2026 elections will usher in a new generation of leadership. The last time DC elected both a new Mayor and a new Delegate was 1990 — during the Marion Barry administration. That’s not the only factor making this election unique. It is taking place at a moment when DC is occupied by federal forces, and experiencing unprecedented threats to our safety, rights, and democratic institutions. The next Mayor and Delegate will be a leader of DC during the time when this regime should rightfully come to an end. That means they will be in a position to either help or hurt in ensuring a transfer of power.
