wow.  np here and these posts are just mean.  How is a person able to become clued in and informed if they are made to feel like shit every time they ask about something they just heard about?[/quote]

But the person didn't ask anything about the position of shadow Senator.  Just expressed amazement that they existed and asked why they just learned this.  That's not trying to become informed, it's just marveling at your own ignorance.

Shadow senators are not unique to DC.  Historically, territories elected shadow reps and senators before their admission as states.  The first shadows were elected from Tennessee before it became a state, and became Tennessee's actual reps after admission.  DC has been electing two shadow senators and a rep since 1990.  They are unpaid, and their role is to lobby for DC statehood.  [/quote]

Jesse Jackson was one of the first DC shadow senators.[/quote]
