ABOUT
Fighting for DC Families.
Robert White is the homegrown leader we can trust to put the
District first.
Hometown Champion: At-Large Councilmember Robert White is a fifth-generation Black Washingtonian, husband, and father who understands the struggle of the District because he lived it, growing up chasing affordable housing in D.C.
Proven Experience & Progressive Priorities: White served in Eleanor Holmes Norton's office for years. In Congress, he'll fight for a living wage, true public safety, Medicare for All, and to end DC's complicity with Trump's lawlessness.
On the other hand, his opponents are wealthy, and one of them is taking donations from Republicans and has a history of partying at Mar-a-Lago.

Robert White is not willing to continue to see our tax dollars used to allow DC police to cooperate and conspire with federal agents to trample our constitutional rights and to terrorize our communities. In contrast to one of his opponents, who has condoned and promoted these actions, and soliciting donations from an executive for one of ICE's biggest vendors.
DC needs a leader who understands the District, not outsiders trying to buy the election. That is why a broad coalition of Black, Latino, and Progressive White voters are supporting Robert White for Congress.

Building Opportunities for Every Resident.
Lowering the cost of living and building economic mobility by launching a bold D.C. Forward Economic Plan to secure federal resources for affordable housing, workforce development, and jobs—particularly for residents without college degrees.
Making D.C. safer and stronger by partnering with local and federal officials to address crime and invest in youth programs that create real opportunities that prevent violence – before it starts.
Protecting local control and the future of D.C. by building powerful coalitions within Congress and with national alliances to stop harmful federal interference, and to fight for statehood, ensuring D.C. finally has a say as other cities and states in America.
Robert believes every D.C. resident deserves the chance to build a stable future. That means investing in affordable housing, good-paying jobs, and schools that prepare our children for tomorrow. His focus is on creating upward mobility and breaking down barriers so every family can dream bigger and achieve more.
In Congress, Robert will fight for statehood autonomy and fight back against Trump’s attacks on D.C.
ISSUES
Robert's Top Priority in Congress.
Robert’s top priority is fighting for D.C. statehood and ensuring that Washingtonians finally have the same voice as every American across the country. He will work every day to protect our right to self-governance and secure full representation in Congress.
Public Safety
Robert believes in balancing accountability with prevention. He will invest in youth programs and opportunities that prevent crime before it starts, while making sure there are meaningful consequences for serious offenses.
Education
Robert knows strong schools are the foundation of opportunity. He will fight for federal funding that supports D.C. teachers, improves classrooms, and prepares our children for the jobs of tomorrow.
Fighting for Statehood
For too long, Washingtonians have been denied full representation in Congress. Robert is running to change that. He will fight for D.C. statehood, defend local control from federal interference, and ensure our residents finally have the same rights as every other American. Robert will work to build powerful coalitions in Congress and across the country to stop destructive overreach. He will protect local laws from being overturned and make sure D.C. has the freedom to govern itself.
Economic Opportunity and Lower Costs
Robert is committed to building pathways to the middle class for every resident. From affordable housing to small business growth, he’ll fight to make sure D.C. is a place where families can thrive, not just get by. That’s why Robert’s bold “D.C. Forward Economic Plan” aims to bring federal resources into the city to make housing more affordable, develop the workforce, and create good-paying jobs, especially for residents without college degrees.
Fairness and Equity
Robert is committed to dismantling barriers that hold families back. That means defending workers’ rights, addressing housing insecurity, and making sure no one is left behind—whether renters, working families, or seniors.
