On November 2, 2004, the District of Columbia held a U.S. House of Representatives election for its shadow representative. Unlike its non-voting delegate, the shadow representative is only recognized by the district 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.
