Republican Party primary

David W. Kranich ran in the Republican Party primary election. Albert Ceccone gathered signatures to run on the ballot as well, but after a challenge by Kranich, the District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics declared many of the signatures invalid. [1] Consequently, Ceccone did not have enough valid signatures to appear on the ballot, and only Kranich's name appeared as running for mayor on the Republican primary ballot. [2] Kranich received 65% of the vote. [3]

Statehood Green Party primary

Chris Otten ran unopposed for the Statehood Green party's primary election. [4] Otten received 50% of the vote. [3]
