2026 AARP DC Candidate Guide
Learn where candidates stand on issues you care about
AARP
AARP DC is committed to ensuring voters across the District are prepared to vote and informed of where candidates stand on issues of importance.
Using AARP research and survey data, AARP DC created a questionnaire for all candidates listed on the ballot for the US House Delegate, Mayor and At-Large Council races to share their vision. We asked them questions about the issues that matter most to older District residents, their families, their caregivers, and their providers.
