DC Council Results
Despite slow release of returns, it appears that Washington at-large Councilman Kwame Brown will win reelection.
Longtime Councilwoman Carol Schwartz, however, appears to have fallen short in a write-in campaign after losing the GOP primary. Her seat will be taken by Michael Brown, who is not related to Kwame Brown, the Washington Post reports.
In other council races, incumbents Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), Muriel Bowser (D-Ward 4), Yvette M. Alexander (D-Ward 7) and Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) appeared headed for easy wins.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
