Capitol Hill ANC Election Returns as of Sunday, November 13 & Some Observations

by Larry Janezich

Posted November 14, 2022

Here are the results of the election in the 43 ANC Single Member Districts on or near Capitol Hill, including those Single Member Districts of Hill East now in Ward 7 (including 7D05 Kingman Park in Ward 7 formerly in Ward 7) and those in Navy Yard now in Ward 8.  Winning candidates are marked with an asterisk.  The five contested elections are in BOLD.

Observations:

• Amber Gove won reelection in ANC6A after overcoming a recall effort.
• Also in ANC6A, Commissioner Chatterjee prevailed in a challenge by Christina Goodlander.
• Only two incumbents sought reelection in ANC6B which lost decades of experience because long time incumbents decided not to run.
• ANC6B has a gender bias favoring men.
• Former Commissioner, ANC6B Chair, and city council candidate Chander Jararaman returns to the ANC as commissioner.
• ANC6C will miss the evenhandedness of Chair Karen Wirt who did not seek reelection.
• Former Commissioner and ANC6D Chair Gail Fast returns to the ANC as commissioner.
• ANC7D will have the majority of its Single Member Districts on the west side of the Anacostia River.
• Commissioner and ANC6D Chair Edward Daniels who was redistricted out of ANC6D was elected as a new commissioner for ANC 8F.
• Write in votes in races with no candidate on the ballot are counted as regular votes and presumably winners will be announced.
• Apparently, regulations require a special election in ANC7D10 because Alison Horn’s name appeared on the ballot despite the fact she had withdrawn from the election on October 18.  Horn garnered 570 votes.
