Rep. Walter Fauntroy

Former Delegate from District of Columbia’s At-Large District, Democrat

Fauntroy, a Democrat, was the delegate from the District of Columbia from 1971 to 1990.

The District of Columbia is a territory of the United States. Because it is not a state, it has no senators or representatives in Congress. Instead it sends a delegate to the House of Representatives with essentially no voting privileges. Delegates have a marginal role in Congress and their constituents are not represented in Congress in the same manner as most citizens.

I am a constituent.

I live in the District of Columbia.

I have an opinion I want to share.

I want to urge Fauntroy to take an action on a bill.
