On this date in 1968, the District held its first election of any kind, and for any kind of local officials, in nearly 100 years (for the Board of Education)
On this date in 1974, DC elected its first Home Rule mayor & Council in over 100 years
In 2024, we held an iconic “family photo” shoot 50 years in the making
45 of the the 51 (!) living past/present District officials elected since 1974 attended

On this date in 1964, for the first time in American history, District residents voted in a Presidential general election.
That year was also our first time voting for *anything* in 90 years. DC had zero elections on Election Day for 90 years.
