This is a Democratic town: There are no Republican members of the D.C. Council, the GOP is only running candidates for two seats in this fall’s election, and the city’s 30,000 registered Republicans sounds like a lot, until you realize that’s only 6 percent of all voters.

But the District, like every state and territory in the union, still sent a GOP group off to Tampa this week to nominate Mitt Romney to take on President Barack Obama in November. Here’s a look at the delegates representing their fellow Republicans at the convention.
