Come 2015, Mayor Vince Gray will definitely not be the mayor of D.C. Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser decisively beat the embattled incumbent, though the Gray campaign says that’s only because of the bad timing of the Jeff Thompson indictment that came out in March. Check out our dispatches last night from the election parties of Gray,  Tommy Wells, Jack Evans, and Andy Shallal. And make sure to check out all of our other coverage throughout election day on the Loose Lips blog.
