Elections in the District of Columbia |

The 2006 United States Senate election in the District of Columbia took place on November 7, 2006, 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 is not officially sworn or seated by the United States Senate.
Incumbent Shadow Senator Florence Pendleton ran for reelection, but was unable to make it onto the ballot as she had only 1,559 valid signatures, short of the necessary 2,000. The Democratic primary was won by Michael Brown, who went on to secure an easy victory in the November general election.
Party primaries took place on September 12, 2006.
Brown's landslide victory was unexpected, and many attributed it to voters confusing Brown with the similarly named Michael A. Brown, who was also on the ballot. Prior to winning the primary, Brown was a little-known political consultant who spent less than $1,000 on his campaign. [1]
Pendleton, who was kicked off the ballot after Pannell challenged her signatures, ran a write-in campaign with little success. She also floated the idea of running as an independent in November, although ultimately that did not occur. [2]
