2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia

The 2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia will take place on November 5, 2024, to elect a shadow member to the United States Senate to represent the District of Columbia. The member is only recognized by the District of Columbia and not officially sworn or seated by the U.S. Senate. Incumbent Mike Brown was re-elected to a third term in 2018.

Democratic primary
The Democratic primary will take place on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. Incumbent Mike Brown has stirred in controversy in recent months in response to him calling claiming that the city council acts like a "petulant child" and that its councilors act like "drunk, irresponsible teenagers" in response to Congress striking down a controversial legislative package the council passed. After Brown made these comments, several candidates declared they would challenge him in the Democratic primary. Brown, in an interview with the Washington City Paper, suggested that he might retire rather than seek re-election in 2024. Brown announced on January 12, 2024, that he will not seek another term.
