WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Tuesday that she will not be seeking re-election.
Bowser announced her decision in a video on social media, calling it an “immense privilege” to have worked alongside district residents.
Bowser has served three terms, none more tumultuous than the last year, when President Donald Trump issued an emergency order that federalized the city’s police force and sent hundreds of National Guard troops there for what the administration called a crime-fighting mission.
