Incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty is in a heated contest with City Council Chairman Vincent Gray for the mayoral post. In recent weeks, Gray has gained a significant edge in the race over his opponent, who petitioned the BOEE to allow independent voters to cast primary ballots. The board voted against the petition. Councilman Kwame Brown is also set to face off with perennial candidate and former councilmember Vincent Orange for the City Council chairmanship.
