Seems that’s changed.

The Advisory Neighborhood Commissions are the first layer of political bodies in the District, with residents elected in non-partisan positions to represent approximately 2,000 other residents in a Single Member District. Some ANCs are really contentious, others work hard, and some others don’t do much.
