Results
Initially, Moreland and Hunter were tied at 48% before Moreland was able to secure the nomination. The exact results of the primary are unknown.[2]
Statehood Party primary
Tom Chorlton, a registered lobbyist, was the only Statehood Party candidate for representative and thus won the nomination.[2]
Republican primary
Howard Lamar Jones, a clinical psychologist, was unopposed in the GOP contest for representative and so won the nomination.[2]

The general election took place on 6 November 1990. Democratic nominee Charles Moreland won the election by a margin of 74,897 votes against his foremost opponent Republican nominee Howard Lamar Jones, thereby gaining Democratic control over the new office of Shadow Representative.
