    On November 6, 2018, a general election was held for the Council of the District of Columbia. Elections were held in four ward districts as well as for Chairperson of the council and two at-large seats. Democrats remained in control of the council, electing 6 out of the 7 positions that were on the ballot. Independent Elissa Silverman, was re-elected to her post as councilperson at-large, defeating challenger Dionne Reeder, who was backed by mayor Muriel Bowser.[1][2]

    Electoral system

    The council is composed of thirteen members, each elected by district residents to a four-year term. One member is elected from each of the district's eight wards. Four at-large members represent the district as a whole. The chairman of the council is likewise elected at an at-large basis. The terms of the at-large members are staggered so that two are elected every two years, and each D.C. resident may vote for two different at-large candidates in each general election.

    According to the Home Rule Act, of the chair and the at-large members, a maximum of three may be affiliated with the majority political party. In the council's electoral history, of the elected members who were not affiliated with the majority party, most were elected as at-large members. In 2008 and 2012, Democrats such as David Grosso, Elissa Silverman, and Michael A. Brown changed their party affiliation to Independent when running for council.

    To become a candidate for council an individual must be resident of the District of Columbia for at least one year prior to the general election, a registered voter, and hold no other public office for which compensation beyond expenses is received. Candidates running for a ward position must be a resident of that ward.

    Summary

    Democrats remained the largest party in the council. Every incumbent was running for re-election, and all of them were re-elected. Incumbent Elissa Silverman (Independent, At-large) race against Dionne Reeder, endorsed by mayor Muriel Bowser, was expected to be close. However Silverman prevailed with a 12-point advantage over Reeder.

    Chairperson

    Incumbent Chairperson Phil Mendelson was re-elected for a second full term after defeating Libertarian party candidate Ethan Bishop-Henchman. However, in heavily Democratic D.C., his main challenger appeared during the primaries, where he was challenged by Ed Lazare, former director of the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, a progressive think tank.

    Democratic primary

    Incumbent Phil Mendelson faced a challenge form the left. Advocacy leader Ed Lazare who claimed that not enough was been done to address the housing crisis and proposed doubling D.C.’s annual investment in the Housing Production Trust Fund — the city’s principle tool to fight homelessness. Lazare proposed increasing accountability of the public school system and police as well as strengthening rent control. For his part Mendelson defended his record in the council and claimed that he was as progressive as Lazare, defending that during his tenure the council increased the minimum wage and passed paid family leave. [4]

    Lazare lost the primary after only receiving 36 percent of the vote compared to Mendelson's 63.

    At-large

    Elections for two at-large seats were held in 2022. Incumbent Democratic councilwoman Anita Bonds was re-elected after being the most voted candidate, while incumbent independent Elissa Silverman was defeated by independent Kenyan McDuffie, formerly a Democrat serving as councilman for ward 5, who came in second.

    The first seat may be won by anyone from any party but the second seat is reserved for someone who is not affiliated with majority party. Bonds was challenged by three Democrats in the June 21 primary, all of whom criticized her role as chair of the council’s housing committee, but was renominated with 35% of the vote.[21]

    Democratic primary

    Incumbent Councilperson Mary Cheh initially signaled that she would run for reelection, but announced on February 11 that she was ending her campaign.[39] At the time of her announcement, Cheh had only two opponents, Brown and Nemeth. Within hours, Cheh's former campaign treasurer, Matt Frumin announced his candidacy.[39] In the following days, several more candidates announced bids for the now-open seat. Ultimately, nine candidates made the primary ballot. Receiving an endorsement from The Washington Post, Eric Goulet became the premier moderate candidate in the race and raised a significant amount of money from outside groups such as the DC Association of Realtors and Democrats for Education Reform. On June 13, spurred by massive outside spending from pro-charter school groups, Tricia Duncan withdrew her campaign and endorsed Matt Frumin. The following day, ANC Commissioner Ben Bergmann and student Henry Cohen withdrew their campaigns in support of Frumin.[40]

    Following these developments, councilmembers George, Allen, and Silverman endorsed Frumin, leading to further consolidation.

    Ward 5

    Incumbent Councilperson Kenyan McDuffie announced in October 2021 that he would not be seeking election to the council. Instead, he opted to run to succeed retiring Karl Racine as Attorney General.[54] In early 2022, it was reported that Zachary Parker led his opponents in fundraising, with much of his money coming from notable DC progressives. His closest opponent, Faith Gibson Hubbard, had donors that overlapped with previous donors to the more moderate Mayor Bowser.[55] Parker won the primary election and was chosen as the democratic nominee. He went on to win the general election with more than 93% of the vote in the overwhelmingly Democratic ward.
