Muriel Bowser won the District of Columbias Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday, defeating incumbent Vincent Gray in a race defined by a scandal involving Grays campaign four years ago.
Bowser tapped into an electorate that tired of the allegations surrounding Gray. Five people who worked on the mayors 2010 campaign have pleaded guilty to felonies, and Bowser said the city needed a fresh start as the mayor faced potential criminal charges.
Bowser, 41, is a D.C. councilmember and a protégé of former Mayor Adrian Fenty, whom Gray defeated in 2010.

Regretfully, America’s African-Americans are adrift at sea, and will remain as such for a very long time to come unless they change their politics, culture and assimilate into the general American society!!! Obama, The NAACP, The CBC, their ministers, their so-called leaders have failed them miserably. Sad....that they are but “sheep” being led to the economic slaughter & slavery by their own kind. Sad and depressing!!!
Gray is currently the target of a federal coruption probe - many members of his admin. have already been convicted or copped pleas.
He was toast before primary election day ...
Oops! Wrong Bowser! The one in the article is actually this one:
“The Democratic primary winner has gone on to win every general election since the district began electing a mayor 40 years ago. But Bowser will face a credible challenger this November in David Catania, an independent D.C. councilmember.”
Catania is a homosexual Republican turned Independent? What a choice.
HOORAY FOR THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE OLD BOSS. A plague on DC.
Same cesspool, different turds.
Amen....sadly amen.
Did she take a position on the WalMarts in DC?
No Idea.....just hope she doesn’t use the word “niggardly” like the other Mayor of DC did and almost got KILLED!!
WDC has for many election cycles selected losers from a crowd of losers to be the lead loser in that very, very corrupt loser city government. The only reason they aren’t completely like detroit is massive infusion of your tax money into that specific black hole. If nothing else, they are macaca.
