Trayon White Sr., a former D.C. Council member who was expelled in February, is projected to reclaim his Ward 8 seat in a special election despite concerns over his pending federal bribery case and the risk he could be disqualified from office if convicted.

The DC Council Ward 8 seat has been vacant since February when Trayon White was expelled by his colleagues following a federal bribery indictment.

Voters in Ward 8 are heading to the polls for a special election to fill an empty seat on the D.C. Council. That empty seat came after the Council voted to remove member Trayon White, who was indicted on bribery charges.

GLAA gave Sheila Bunn the highest rating on LGBTQ issues in Ward 8's Council race. Trayon White was not rated due to ethics violations.

Tens of thousands of Ward 8 tenants stand to lose long-held protections under Mayor Bowser’s RENTAL Act. Who will speak for them?
