As expected, D.C.’s pro-LGBTQ Democratic incumbent and non-incumbent candidates for seats on the D.C. City Council, the D.C. Congressional Delegate seat, and the so-called “shadow” U.S. Senate and U.S. House seats won re-election on Tuesday by a wide margin in a city with an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate.

In the race for U.S. president, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris had 90.4 percent of the D.C. vote as of the 10:53 p.m. vote count, with Republican Donald Trump receiving 6.6 percent and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. receiving 0.83 percent of the D.C. vote. Kennedy’s decision to withdraw his candidacy and endorse Trump came too late to have his name removed from the D.C. ballot.

Also as expected, Allister Chang, the gay member of the D.C. State Board of Education, which is a nonpartisan body, received 93.49 percent of the vote in his unopposed race for re-election to the Board’s Ward 2 seat. The election results, however, show that one or more write-in candidates received 6.5 percent of the vote.

Chang is one of two D.C. elected officials other than Advisory Neighborhood Commission members, who is a member of the LGBTQ community. D.C. Council member Zachary Parker (D-Ward 5), who was not up for re-election this year, is the other one.

The controversial D.C. election ballot measure called Initiative 83, which calls for the city to adopt a ranked choice voting system and open primaries in which independents can vote in a party primary, was approved overwhelmingly with 72.6 percent of the vote. The election results as of late Tuesday evening showed 27.3 percent of voters voted “no” on the initiative.

LGBTQ activists were divided over whether to support or oppose Initiative 83, with the Capital Stonewall Democrats, the city’s largest local LGBTQ political group, declining to take a position on the initiative. But one of the group’s longtime members, Ward 8 gay Democratic activist Phil Pannell, served as treasurer of the committee that led the campaign for Initiative 83.

Also winning re-election by a wide margin was D.C. Congressional Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), who received 80.2 percent of the vote. Challengers Kymore Freeman (Statehood-Green Party) received 6.4 percent, Myrtle Patricia Alexander (R) received 6.3 percent, and Michael A. Brown (I) received 6.2 percent.

Norton, a longtime LGBTQ rights supporter in Congress, is expected to play an important role in defending LGBTQ rights in what appears to be a Republican-controlled Congress, and a Donald Trump presidency.

Among the D.C. Council races, incumbents Robert White (D-At-Large) and Christina Henderson (I-At-Large), won re-election with 62.4 percent and 23 percent respectively. The two were challenged by Statehood Green Party candidate Daryl Moch, who received 7.5 percent of the vote, and Republican Rob Simmons, who received 6.36 percent.

Under the city’s electoral system, two of the city’s four at-large Council members or candidates run on the same ballot in separate election years, with voters allowed to vote for two candidates in that race. The highest two vote-getters are declared the winners.

In other Council races, Ward 2 Council member Brooke Pinto (D-Ward 2) who ran unopposed on the ballot, received 93.4 percent of the vote, with 6.5 percent going to one or more write-in candidates. One write-in candidate, who identified himself as Rondell Magic Jordan, put up campaign posters near Dupont Circle area gay bars in his race against incumbent Pinto, who is a longtime LGBTQ rights supporter.

Ward 4 Council member Janeese Lewis George (D), who also ran unopposed, received 96.6 percent of the vote, with 3.3 percent going to one or more write-in candidates. In the Council race for Ward 7, in which longtime LGBTQ supportive incumbent Vincent Gray did not run for re-election, Democrat Wendel Felder, received 92.7 percent of the vote, with Republican Noah Montgomery receiving 5.9 percent.

Ward 8 Council member Trayon White (D), who was indicted earlier this year on a federal bribery charge, won re-election with 76 percent of the vote. Republican challenger Nate Derenge received 14.6 percent of the vote, and one or more write-in candidates received 9.2 percent of the vote.

Democrat Ankit Jain won his race for the D.C. shadow U.S. Senate seat with 89.9 percent of the vote, with Republican Nelson Rimensnyder receiving 9.2 percent. Incumbent shadow U.S. Representative Oye Owolewa won re-election with 90.7 percent of the vote. Republican challenger Ciprian Ivanof received 8.5 percent.

Along with gay D.C. State Board of Education member Allister Chang’s election victory, At-Large State Board of Education member Jacque Patterson won re-election unopposed with 97.3 percent of the vote. Ward 7 school board member Eboni-Rose Thompson won re-election with 71 percent of the vote, with challengers Toni Crinner receiving 20.1 percent and Charles Boston receiving 7.6 percent.

Ward 8 State Board of Education candidate LaJoy Johnson ran unopposed and received 98.2 percent of the vote. The outcome of the Ward 4 State Board of Education race surprised some observers when incumbent Frazier O’Leary lost to challenger T. Michelle Colson by a margin of 54.2 percent to 44.6 percent.

If the final vote counts confirm that Republicans have won control of both houses of Congress and with Trump confirmed as the next U.S. president, D.C. officials could find themselves defending the city’s home rule government consisting of an elected mayor and City Council.

During his election campaign, Trump has hinted that he might take steps to rescind D.C.’s home rule government and restore the pre-home rule form of D.C. government in place prior to the 1970s, in which a commission nominated by the U.S. president and confirmed by Congress runs the day-to-day operations of the city. Congress would have to approve such an action.
