Background
How can a voter inspect the candidates, filings and issues behind a DC race?
This archived tracker brings race pages, candidate records, campaign-finance trends and issue briefs together. The primary-era data retains its original publication dates; a refreshed portfolio screenshot does not mean the election dataset has resumed updating.

How It Works
- Race pages: Candidate rosters link to DCBOE and campaign-finance records.
- Finance: Published filings are presented as fundraising trends with source references.
- Ballot lookup: Address-based lookup identifies the relevant ward and races.
- Issue briefs: The policy pages organize questions about housing, safety, schools, transport and the budget.
- Archive: Static export preserves the published snapshot and its limits.
