Fox News
The June 4 Democratic primary in deep blue Washington, D.C., will largely focus on crime and law enforcement after a significant spike in crime last year.
Five of the 13 council seats are on the ballot, with easily the most competitive being the race to replace retiring Ward 7 Councilmember Vincent Gray. A former Washington mayor, Gray has served on the council for 13 years in two separate stints. A total of 10 candidates are vying to be his successor: Wendell Felder, Nate Fleming, Ebbon Allen, Kelvin Brown, Roscoe Grant, Eboni-Rose Thompson, Villareal "VJ" Johnson, Ebony Payne, Veda Rasheed and Denise Reed.
