Robert White (D), who was endorsed by the NASW Metro DC Council, won his campaign to serve another term as an At-Large City Council Member by a landslide 62% in Tuesday’s General Election.

DC voters also voted for NASW-endorsed candidates Vice President Kamal Harris and Gov. Tim Walz by more than 90% for President and Vice President, respectively.

NASW acknowledges that Donald Trump has been re-elected and will become 47th president of the United States. We are deeply troubled by statements Trump has made regarding immigrants, women, people who are LGBTQIA2S+, and people of color. NASW will challenge any of his policies that harm our nation’s most vulnerable populations. Read the full statement at https://tinyurl.com/yj2dbm2c

Other DC winners were Ankin Jain (D), U.S. Senate; Oye Owokewa (D), U.S. Representative; Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives; Brooke Pinto (D), Ward 2 City Council Member; Janeese Lewis George (D), Ward 4 City Council Member; Wendell Felder (D), Ward 7 City Council Member; and Trayon White Sr., Ward 8 City Council Member.

In addition, voters overwhelmingly passed Initiative 83 to allow ranked-choice voting and permit voters not registered with a political party to vote in their choice of a primary—a dramatic reform of the current electoral system.

Thank you to all social workers who voted, volunteered, and helped get out the vote!
