Last night former Mayor and current Council Member Marion Barry tweeted:

“Just to set the record straight, I have no intentions of ever running for Mayor of this phenomenal city again.”

And the Washington Post reports:

“D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray on Monday announced that he will seek a second term, bringing a sudden end to months of uncertainty over whether corruption surrounding his last campaign would keep him from running for reelection.”
