This resolution, titled the "Council of the District of Columbia Member at Large Doni Crawford Appointment Resolution of 2026," officially appoints Ms. Doni Crawford to fill a vacant at-large seat on the Council of the District of Columbia. The Council of the District of Columbia is the legislative body for Washington D.C., and an "at-large" member represents the entire district, not a specific geographic area. This appointment is made under the authority granted by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a federal law that established the framework for self-governance in D.C. Ms. Crawford will serve in this position until the results of a special election are certified, which will fill the seat for the remainder of the unexpired term ending on January 2, 2027. The resolution also mandates that a copy of this appointment be sent to Ms. Crawford, the Board of Elections (the body responsible for overseeing elections in D.C.), and the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and it takes effect immediately upon its adoption.
