跟进：华盛顿全区议员罗伯特·怀特辞职：为保国会代表竞选资格
在哥伦比亚特区华盛顿市，全区特区议员 Robert White 11月2日正式辞去议会席位，以确保自己作为民主党国会代表候选人参加11月3日选举的资格。
促使他辞职的是一项1970年代法律的规定：特区国会代表在选举日不得同时担任另一份有薪公职。怀特当天在约翰·威尔逊大楼外发表讲话，感谢工作人员与家人。他表示，自己要确保这天与下一项使命之间没有任何障碍，哪怕只是看似障碍的东西。
怀特已在议会任职十年，如当选将接替长期担任特区国会代表的 Eleanor Holmes Norton。他的辞职触发了全区议员空缺的填补程序，特区民主党上周表示正在着手安排人选、将在适当时候确定。

Follow-Up: DC At-Large Councilmember Robert White Resigns to Protect Delegate Candidacy
In Washington, District of Columbia, at-large DC Councilmember Robert White officially resigned his council seat on November 2 to ensure his eligibility as the Democratic nominee for DC delegate in the November 3 election.
A 1970s law provides that the delegate cannot hold another paid public office on Election Day. White spoke outside the Wilson Building after his resignation, thanking his staff and family, and said he wanted to make sure nothing stands, or even appears to stand, between this day and the next mission.
White has served on the council for 10 years and, if elected, would take over for longtime DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. His resignation triggers the process to fill the at-large vacancy; the DC Democratic Party said last week it is working on the selection and will make it at an appropriate time.
