Fenty Loses Re-Election Bid for Mayor in D.C. Primary, AP Says

Mayor Adrian Fenty lost his bid for re-election in the Washington, D.C., Democratic primary, according to the Associated Press.

Fenty’s opponent, City Council Chairman Vincent Gray, had 53 percent of yesterday’s vote to 46 percent for Fenty, with 90 percent of the precincts reporting, according to AP. Gray, 67, will likely become mayor in the predominately Democratic city, where there is currently no Republican opponent.
