The D.C. Board of Elections rejected a bid to recall a Southwest advisory neighborhood commissioner Tuesday — the same day she was being re-elected to her volunteer post.

Mary C. Williams, the same ANC commissioner who last year led a failed effort to recall Ward 6 D.C.Council Member Sharon Ambrose, defeated her election opponent by 10 votes to retain her seat. On that day, her three-month appeal of a recall effort was accepted by the election’s board.
