D.C.'s scandal-scarred mayor bounced in primary...





WASHINGTON (Reuters) - District of Columbia city council member Muriel Bowser swept to victory over scandal-plagued Mayor Vincent Gray in the U.S. capital's crowded Democratic Party primary on Wednesday.

Winning the Democratic primary is seen as tantamount to taking the general election in the heavily Democratic city. Turnout in Tuesday's election was low at 23 percent.

Gray conceded defeat around midnight EDT (0400 GMT). Final results had Bowser with 44 percent of the vote to Gray's 32 percent. Six candidates split the other votes.

"God bless you, and let's go to work," Bowser, a city council member for the past seven years, told cheering supporters.

In the November election, Bowser will face David Catania, an openly gay independent member of the city council who is seen as the strongest challenger. Catania is a former Republican who has backed progressive issues since leaving the party in 2004.
