What is a
shadow senator?
Because DC is not a state, its residents do not have full congressional representation. Instead, DC elects two “Shadow” Senators to work with members of Congress and leaders across the city to move DC towards statehood, to prevent congressional interference in DC affairs, and to advocate before the U.S. Senate for laws that protect DC’s interests.
