About the Campaign
Why Robert Is Running
Robert knows firsthand the struggles of rising costs and displacement in DC — because his own family has lived them. That’s why he’s committed to ensuring no one is left behind, whether renters, working families, or seniors.
“I want a future where DC families can put down roots, build wealth, and live free in the city we love.” — Robert White
Our Values
Fighting for DC Families
IT’S TIME FOR BOLD LEADERSHIP IN DC
Robert White is running for Congress to fight for affordable housing, safer neighborhoods, economic opportunity, and full representation for Washington, D.C. Together, we can build a city where every resident has a voice and a future.
Lowering the cost of living and building economic mobility
by launching a bold ‘D.C. Forward Economic Plan to secure federal resources for affordable housing, workforce development, and jobs – particularly for residents without college degrees.
Making D.C. safer and stronger
by partnering with local and federal officials to address crime and invest in youth programs that create real opportunities that prevent violence – before it starts.
Protecting local control and the future of D.C.
by building powerful coalitions within Congress and with national alliances to stop harmful federal interference, and to fight for statehood, ensuring D.C. finally has the same voice as every other city and state in America.
A Campaign Rooted in Community
Robert White has dedicated his life to serving Washingtonians — from his time as Legislative Counsel to Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, to his years on the DC Council. His mission has always been the same: to make sure DC families can put down roots, thrive, and shape their own future.
Hard-Working Leadership
Every day, Robert works to lower the cost of living, create jobs, and ensure families have access to safe neighborhoods and quality schools. His “DC Forward Economic Plan” will deliver affordable housing, workforce development, and economic mobility for all.
Integrity & Trust
Robert has a proven record of leadership and honesty. He has consistently stood up for DC residents against federal interference and will fight to secure full representation and statehood for the people of Washington, D.C.
Bold Collaborative Vision
Robert knows that progress requires coalitions. In Congress, he will bring leaders together — locally and nationally — to prevent violence before it starts, strengthen our schools, and protect DC’s right to self-govern.
