2004 United States Shadow Representative election in the District of Columbia

The 2004 Shadow Representative election in the District of Columbia took place on November 2, 2004, to elect a shadow member to the United States House of Representatives to represent the District of Columbia. Unlike non-voting delegates, the Shadow Representative is only recognized by the District of Columbia and is not officially sworn or seated. This race was a rematch of 2002 when the same two candidates appeared on the ballot. Like in 2002, incumbent Shadow Representative Ray Browne was reelected.
