The 2020 general election for Council of the District of Columbia was held on November 3, with a special election for ward 2 held on June 27. Elections were held for the seats of four out of the eight wards and two of the four at-large seats. The Democratic Party retained its control of the city council, with the council becaming majority female for the first time since the 1998 election.[1]
Ward 2 councilmember Jack Evans resigned from the city council due to a corruption scandal, triggering a special election. Despite resigning, Evans unsuccessfully ran for his seat in the Democratic primary, which was won by Brooke Pinto. Incumbent councilors Robert White, Pinto, Vincent C. Gray, and Trayon White won reelection. Janeese Lewis George won election to the city council after defeating incumbent councilor Brandon Todd, while David Grosso retired and was succeeded by Christina Henderson.
This was the first city council election to have public campaign financing with $3.4 million being given to candidates, with George being given the most at $281,055 during the campaign.
Background
Mayor Muriel Bowser won reelection in the 2018 election becoming the first mayor to win reelection since 2002.[2] The District of Columbia Home Rule Act states that "not more than two of the at-large members shall be nominated by the same political party", which results in the Democratic Party being unable to run in all at-large districts.[3] David Catania, a member of the city council from 1997 to 2015, was the last member of the Republican Party elected to the council, but changed his political affiliation to independent in 2004.[4]
Summary
Democrats remained the largest party on the council, with no seats being lost to other parties or independents.

Ward 2
A recall attempt had been made against Evans, but the District of Columbia Board of Elections ruled that the recall campaign couldn't collect signatures due to them not filing the proper campaign finance paperwork.[30] Evans, the longest serving member of the city council since his first election in 1991, resigned on January 17, 2020, while under investigation for ethics violations and after all twelve other members voted unanimously to recommend his expulsion. His resignation caused a special election to be held.[31][32] Evans announced that he would run in the special election on January 28, but later dropped out of the special election while remaining in the Democratic primary.[33][34]
Pinto won in the special election and the Democratic nomination.[35][9] She won in the general election against independent candidates Randy Downs and Martín Miguel Fernandez and Statehood Green nominee Peter Bolton.[5]
