At-large Councilman David Catania demanded Wednesday that D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray resign, making him the city’s first elected official to press the mayor to quit after prosecutors revealed that Gray won the 2010 election with the help of an illegal shadow campaign. By day’s end, other council members had joined the ranks of those calling for Gray to quit.

“Whether he knew or not about the shadow campaign, the time has come for the mayor to step down,” Catania told The Washington Examiner. “We know that his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to undermine the election laws of our city, calling into question the legitimacy of the election and his legitimacy as mayor.”
