Who is my U.S. representative in DC-AL?
Right now, DC's current delegate is still Eleanor Holmes Norton — but she announced in January 2026 that she won't seek reelection, ending an 18-term run in the seat since 1991.
A couple of key things about this seat:
It's a non-voting delegate, not a full "representative." DC's at-large district ("DC-AL") sends someone to the House who can introduce bills and serve on committees, but can't vote on final floor passage — that's a quirk of DC not being a state.
The seat is up for grabs in 2026. At-large D.C. Council member Robert White won the Democratic primary in June 2026 for Norton's seat, putting him on track to become just the third person ever to hold it. The general election is in November 2026, and the Democratic nominee is heavily favored in the heavily Democratic city.

So until the November 2026 election and a new term begins, Norton technically remains the officeholder, though she's not seeking reelection. If you want, I can look up who's representing you more broadly (senators don't apply here, but I could check on DC Council or shadow senators/representative if that's useful).

The response correctly identifies Eleanor Holmes Norton as the current DC-AL representative (delegate), matching the ground truth. However, it includes likely fabricated future claims about a 2026 primary and Robert White that are unverifiable.
