The Free DC Slate, a group of candidates with progressive views, secured a notable win by capturing 36 out of 48 available seats on the D.C. Democratic State Committee. This triumph occurred on August 2, 2026.
Among the notable figures in this group are Sam Bonar and Chioma Iwuoha. Their victory reflects a shift towards more left-leaning policies within the committee.
Sam Bonar, a prominent figure in local activism, previously gained attention by dressing as ‘Filiblaster’ to support D.C. statehood in front of Capitol Hill. He also participated in a ‘Shark Tank’-style protest outside the John A. Wilson Building. These unconventional methods highlight his commitment to the cause.
