The shadow representative in the capital does not seek to be re -elected

Owolewa, a shadow representative in Colombia, will not seek to re -election in 2026 after five years in his post.

“I am incredibly proud of our work since this office took over. Since I first elected me in 2020, I took it upon him to raise the tape. We did it together!” Olio, a democratic, said in a statement.

“And most importantly, we continue to fight against the continued persecution of Donald Trump on the residents of the American capital. However, it’s time to pass the stick to the next generation of leaders,” he said.

Owolewa is a shadow representative, and this means that he has no voting force, but he is charged with pressuring Washington, DC, the state. In 2024, he was re -elected with 90.7 percent of the votes. Congress does not recognize its role.

The calls of the capital state increased at a time when President Trump’s introduction in the capital police administration and the deployment of the National Guard to the country’s capital sparked a violent reaction from the population.

The mayor of the capital, Morel Boser (D), re -called her long -term invitation to the region to be recognized as a country.

“It is such times when America needs to know why your nation’s capital – the place where 700,000 American tax Americans live -” Buser told “The Breakfast Club” on August 12.

The outgoing actor spoke to the “sunrise on the hill” on Friday, echoing the fears of other Democrats about the existence of federal law in the country’s capital.

“One of the reasons why we do not want to see the national guards on the street, especially those who come from outside the city, is that they do not have this cultural efficiency of our society,” he said.

Oolio also raised questions about the crime that leaks after leaving the National Guard if there is no long -term investment in society.

“If we do not address the radical causes and we have already services for those who need them more, we will not have these long -term benefits to support the capital,” continued.

In his statement, his decision was announced not to request his re -election, the most prominent Owolewa some of his accomplishments in Congress, such as providing free legal services to Washington, assisting local companies and providing the children of the capital with access to science.
