FILED UNDER: Elections

The Associated Press just “called” the D.C. Democratic Primary for Vincent Gray. Via NBC4:

With 90 percent of precincts reporting, Gray held about a 53-46 percent lead (59,285 votes to 50,850 votes) over incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty.

“Tonight the people of the District sent a message loud and clear that they want to bring character, integrity and leadership back to the mayor’s office,” Gray told his supporters just before 2 a.m. Wednesday. ”It’s time that we come together as one city.”
