Vote Tuesday in the DC Democratic Primary

Tuesday, September 9, is primary day here DC. If you’re a Democrat, Republican, or State Green Party member who’s been registered to vote in DC for at least 30 days, be sure to get to the polls. See the Board of Elections and Ethics site for information.

If you live in Ward 2, 4, 7, or 8, there’s an election for ward-level council member this year. In other wards, you’ll be voting only for citywide elected officials. I’ve listed the Democratic candidates below (incumbents are marked with asterisks, websites are linked when I could find them):

• Delegate to US House of Representatives
  • Eleanor Holmes Norton*
• At-Large Council Member
  • Kwame R. Brown*
• Ward 2 Council Member
  • Jack Evans*
  • Cary Silverman

DC Democrats will also be electing members of the local party organization, the DC Democratic State Committee. I’ll have a separate post about that.
