Who are my U.S. senators in District of Columbia?

The District of Columbia does **not** have any U.S. senators.

Washington, D.C. is a federal district, not a state, and under the current structure of the U.S. government, it has no voting representation in the Senate. This is a long-standing point of political debate, and it's part of the broader discussion around D.C. statehood.

What D.C. does have:

- **A non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives** — currently **Eleanor Holmes Norton** (as of my last update). She can participate in committees and debate but cannot vote on the House floor.

- **"Shadow" senators and a "shadow" representative** — These are officials elected by D.C. voters to advocate for statehood and representation, but they are **not** seated or recognized by Congress and have no official legislative power.

If you're a D.C. resident looking for help with a federal matter, you may want to contact **Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton's office**, as her staff can often assist with constituent services similar to what a senator's office would provide.

Would you like help finding contact information for her office?
