List of ANC Candidates for ANCs on or Near Capitol Hill
by Larry Janezich
Posted September 9, 2024
Here’s a list of the candidates seeking seats on the five ANCs regularly covered by Capitol Hill Corner: ANCs 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, and 7D. There have been a few surprise developments.
Commissioner Edward Ryder, commissioner and current Chair of ANC6B (after announcing his retirement in June) launched a write in campaign for his seat since no candidate emerged.
In 6C03, incumbent Commissioner Jay Adelstein was being challenged but on September 3, the DC Board of Elections ruled to deny ballot access to his challenger – Rasheedah Hasan – for not having the required number of valid petition signatures.
Over in ANC6D, longtime head of the DC Office of ANCs Gottlieb Simon is running unopposed for the seat currently held by long-serving commissioner Ron Collins, who is retiring.
Four seats are being contested:
6B06 (incumbent Commissioner Chander Jayaraman is retiring)
6D01 (incumbent Commissioner Bob Link is being challenged)
7D01 (incumbent Commissioner Sirraj Hasan is retiring)
7D07 (incumbent Commissioner Brett Astman is being challenged)
Four seats have no candidates: 6B04, 6B05, 6C01 and 7D02.
Incumbents on the list are marked with an asterisk.
