Robert White holds a strong lead in the Democratic primary for D.C.’s non-voting House delegate, scheduled for June 16, reflecting trader consensus on his position as an at-large councilmember with deep local roots and broad coalition backing among Black, Latino, and progressive voters. A recent public poll showed him ahead of Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto by 17 points, while both candidates have drawn significant fundraising, with Pinto reporting higher cumulative totals and White posting stronger recent quarterly receipts. The contest has featured pointed exchanges over local issues including housing, public safety, economic development, and D.C. autonomy, alongside endorsements and media attention focused on the top three contenders. Lower-polling candidates such as Kinney Zalesne, Gregory Jaczko, and Trent Holbrook have received less visibility in polling and spending reports. The short window before voting leaves limited room for late shifts in momentum.
