Residents of Washington, D.C., headed to the polls for a slew of local primary elections on Tuesday in a cycle dominated by topics such as the district’s high cost of living and rising crime rates.
Five seats on the Council of the District of Columbia were up for grabs on election night, with all but one seeing its incumbent win reelection. The exception was the ward represented by councilman Vincent Gray, who is retiring after his term expires in November. Gray will be replaced by whoever wins the Democratic primary, which remained uncalled as of 12:24 a.m. Wednesday morning.
