While the Northeast is buried in snow, between an inch and two inches fell here in D.C.

With less than a year until the April 2014 D.C. primary, a very candidate-sounding Mayor Vince Gray said today that he hadn’t yet decided if he would be a candidate again.

On Saturday Councilmember Muriel Bowser (D-Ward 4) formally jumped into the mayoral race, promising to more energetically fight to ensure that the city’s progress is spread more evenly among all of its residents.

Though the primary is 18 months out, U Street resident Brianne Nadeau has officially announced her intentions to unseat Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) come 2014.

What was for a long time simply a rumor has now become somewhat more official—Councilmember Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) is laying the groundwork for a 2014 mayoral run.
