From arms dealing to misusing campaign funds to this:
Embattled District of Columbia mayor Vincent Gray was defeated in the Democratic primary Tuesday by Councilmember Muriel Bowser.
Gray conceded defeat shortly after midnight Wednesday. Bowser captured 44 percent of the vote to Gray's 32 percent, with Councilmember Tommy Wells a distant third at 13 percent
In his concession speech,
Gray, who is under an ethics cloud and faces the possibility of criminal charges, told a subdued crowd at a downtown hotel that he would continue working hard during the last nine months of his term.
Gray was elected mayor in 2010 after he defeated then-mayoral incumbent Adrian Fenty in the Democratic primary by tapping into dissatisfaction with the city's direction among its African-American residents.
But a series of guilty pleas in federal court have revealed that top aides to Gray broke the law to help him get elected. Three weeks ago, prosecutors said the mayor knew about an illegal, $668,000 slush fund that aided his get-out-the-vote efforts.His attorney has said he is preparing for a possible indictment.
