District Of Columbia's At-large Congressional District
The District of Columbia's at-large congressional district is a congressional district based entirely of the District of Columbia. According to the U.S. Constitution, only states may be represented in the Congress of the United States. The District of Columbia is not a U.S. state and therefore has no voting representation. Instead, constituents in the district elect a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Despite lacking full voting privileges on the floor of the House of Representatives, delegates are voting members in U.S. Congressional committees and they lobby their congressional colleagues regarding the District's interests. While the office was initially created during the Reconstruction Era by the Radical Republicans, Norton P. Chipman ( R) briefly held the seat for less than two terms before the office was eliminated completely. The District of Columbia Delegate Act , of 1970 authorized voters in the District of Columbia to elect one non-votin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

2024 United States Senate Election In West Virginia
The 2024 United States Senate election in West Virginia will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of West Virginia. Incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Manchin was elected in a 2010 special election to complete the term vacated by the late Robert Byrd. He won his first full term in a landslide in 2012, and was narrowly re-elected to a second full term in 2018. He has indicated that he is running for reelection to a third full term in office, but has not made a definitive statement.

2024 United States Senate Election In Ohio
The 2024 United States Senate election in Ohio will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Ohio. Incumbent three-term Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown is running for reelection to a fourth term in office. Brown is one of three Democratic senators up for re-election in states that Donald Trump won in 2020, alongside Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana. Brown's re-election is considered essential for Democrats' chances to retain the Senate majority in 2024. The race is expected to be highly competitive, as Brown is generally popular amongst Ohioans, but the state has trended towards Republicans in recent years: Ohio voted for former President Donald Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections and elected Republican J.D. Vance over Democrat Tim Ryan to fill the open seat vacated by retiring Republican Rob Portman in the 2022 election. Democratic primary Candidates Declared *Sh ...
