Democrats hold 11 of the 13 seats in the council.
Shadow congresspersonThe posts of shadow United States Senator and shadow United States Representative (not to be confused with the non-voting delegate) are held by elected or appointed government officials from subnational polities of the United States that lack congressional vote.
