White

A Council housing chairman and former Norton legislative counsel promising to defend home rule and expand housing investment; his test is turning congressional experience into results without a final floor vote.

Sources 12, 14, 16Counterpoints 1

Freeman

A We Act Radio co-founder campaigning for federal tax exemption and limits on housing costs; his central challenge is converting protest and organizing into legislation that voting members of Congress accept.

Rosado

1. Press for the SAVE America Act’s citizenship requirements in federal elections through advocacy and bill work; the delegate could not cast a final floor vote.

3. Propose third-grade reading and writing requirements before promotion to fourth grade, paired with intervention and disability accommodations; DC families would see changes only after legislation and implementation.

White

3. Press for sustained federal Metro operating and capital support so residents have more reliable service; funding legislation and WMATA’s implementation would determine the improvement riders actually experience.

Freeman

1. Seek a federal income-tax exemption for DC residents until statehood, combining legislative advocacy with a campaign for economic pressure; Congress would have to change the tax law.

2. Oppose federal public-land transfers or development for data centers, using legislation and oversight to press for preservation; voting members and federal agencies would control the outcome.

3. Seek to cap residents’ housing costs, including utilities, at 30 percent of income and bar private-equity homeownership; lower bills would depend on legislation and an enforcement system.

Rosado

She identifies as conservative, advertises the Log Cabin Republicans’ endorsement, supports federal law-enforcement cooperation, and advocates the SAVE America Act; her campaign also describes service as above party.

Sources 7, 8, 9

White

He has Progressive Caucus and Congressional Black Caucus campaign support, but his RENTAL Act compromises drew criticism from DC socialists; his record does not map neatly onto one progressive faction.

Sources 22Counterpoints 17

Freeman

His campaign presents direct economic action for statehood and a shift from corporate subsidies toward housing, health care, and education; those stated priorities document his position beyond the Statehood Green label.

Sources 18, 21

Rosado

Her legal and federal-agency experience supports an oversight-oriented candidacy with concrete proposals on taxes, school promotion, and traffic fines, offering voters a defined alternative on federal involvement.

Sources 7, 8Counterpoints 1

White

His work in Norton’s office and on housing policy gives him relevant experience with federal land, financing, and local oversight; his platform identifies specific congressional tools for addressing affordability.

Sources 14, 16Counterpoints 1

Freeman

He gives residents denied a congressional vote a specific demand for tax relief, links housing affordability to household income, and brings experience organizing through community media.

Sources 18, 20Counterpoints 1

Rosado

She promises quick tax relief and changes to local schools and traffic enforcement without the delegate’s own final vote; her opposition to statehood also rejects a route to full representation.

Sources 8Counterpoints 1, 10

White

Tenant advocates on the left argue that his RENTAL Act work weakened purchase rights and accelerated evictions; his defense is that housing needs both investment and tenant affordability.

Sources 17Counterpoints 14

Freeman

His campaign treats tax resistance as a path to change, but electing a delegate does not suspend federal taxes; his housing cap also lacks a published funding and enforcement design.

Sources 12, 16
