Trayon White (D) defeated six other candidates in a special election for Ward 8 of the Washington, D.C. City Council on July 15, 2025.
On August 19, 2024, federal agents arrested White, a councilmember at the time, after he allegedly accepted bribes to influence government contracts.[1] On February 4, 2025, the D.C. council voted unanimously to expel White.[2][3] White pleaded not guilty, and his trial was scheduled to begin in January 2026.[4]
Salim Adofo (D) was the chair of DC's Advisory Neighborhood Commission for Ward 8. White defeated Adofo 52% to 28% in the 2024 primary for this seat.[5] Adofo's website said he "will work to reduce gun violence, empower our young people, help create quality housing and bring more food options to benefit all of Ward 8."[6]
Mike Austin (D) was the chief of staff in the office of the Deputy Mayor of Economic Development and a former staffer for Ward 8 Councilmember LaRuby May (D). White defeated Austin 58% to 27% in the 2020 primary for this seat.[5] His website said his priorities included "investing in Ward 8 students and businesses, attracting responsible development, and strengthening our workforce so Ward 8 is ready for the demands of tomorrow."[7]
Sheila Bunn (D) was a former staffer to U.S. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.). She worked in the mayor's office and for Ward 7's Council Office.[5] She previously ran for this seat in 2015, finishing in third behind LaRuby May and Trayon White. Bunn campaigned on her experience in ward politics, and her website said, "After 30 years of working with Congresswoman Norton, Mayor Gray, and at the DC Council, I am the most experienced candidate to deliver results for Ward 8."[8]
White represented this ward from 2017 to 2025. He was re-elected in 2024 with 76% of the vote. White said of his decision to run after his expulsion: "I just got re-elected in November with 20,000 votes... We really don't feel like the council had the authority to really get me out of office, and people feel like that as well, so it's going to show in this upcoming election."[9]
At a candidate forum with all four candidates, three of the candidates discussed the charges against White. Adofo said, "I think that moving forward gives us an opportunity to go a different direction. We have to take into consideration [if this] is where we want to go." Austin said, "We can no longer give passes for malfeasance... We can’t abuse our trust and our loyalty and our elected officials." Bunn said, "We need a leader at this time that is not fraught with any ethical issues. One that is ready on day one to work with the current council members that has relationships with the current council members to move the needle for Ward 8." White said of the charges, "You heard one side, haven’t heard my side, but that’s why I’m here still fighting for not just for my freedom, but for the freedom of all people in Ward 8 and across the District."[10]
University of Maryland Prof. George Musgrove said that despite the charges, White had learned "how to cultivate a relatively small but pretty fervent electoral base in a low-turnout ward. He only has to mobilize a couple thousand people."[2] Democratic Party of the District of Columbia chair Charles Wilson said that even with his base, he "[didn't] think he should take his name recognition for granted," and The Washington Post's Meagan Flynn and Jenny Gathright wrote that there were voters at the candidate forum who "found the bribery scandal a tiring distraction, even among those who backed White in the past."[11]
Mary Roach (D), Oliver Roy (D), and Delonte Ford Singh (R) also ran as write-in candidates.

Submitted Biography: "Salim Adofo is a lifelong public servant with over 20 years of experience in local and federal government and the nonprofit sector. His journey began in the U.S. Army, where he served honorably as a Specialist in the 125th Finance Battalion. He later worked at the University of the District of Columbia as a Project Coordinator for the Dean, helping to create educational programming for students. In 2018, he was elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for ANC 8C, and in 2021, he was unanimously chosen as Chair. In the nonprofit sector, Salim served as a tenant organizer, helping over 800 Ward 8 residents access legal support and rental assistance during the COVID-19 crisis. He also helped form and strengthen tenant associations across the ward. To improve education, Salim partnered with the National Society of Black Engineers to launch the Ward 8 STEM Academy, teaching local students science, technology, engineering, math, and the arts, while also building skills in critical thinking and conflict resolution. As Commissioner, Salim led efforts to improve traffic safety and infrastructure by securing speed bumps near schools, road resurfacing, and raised sidewalks. He also launched the “Clean Ward 8” initiative—coordinating monthly cleanups that earned him the Mayor’s “Community Impact of the Year” Award in 2021. Salim is a UDC graduate, a member of Union Temple Baptist Church and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and a proud resident of Congress Heights."

Submitted Biography: "I’m Mike Austin, a fourth-generation Washingtonian, attorney, and candidate for Ward 8 DC Council. I’ve spent my career fighting for this community: serving as Associate General Counsel at United Medical Center, where I worked to protect patients and support one of the most important institutions in our Ward. I’ve also served as Chair of ANC 8C, worked in the Ward 8 Council office as the Legislative Director, and helped lead workforce and economic development efforts with the Deputy Mayor for Greater Economic Opportunity. I know how government works, and more importantly, I know how it should work for the people. I’m running because Ward 8 deserves better: better schools, safer streets, more jobs, and real affordable housing. Right now, the needs are urgent, and we do not have a strong voice at the table. I’m ready to change that. This campaign is not about politics. It is about purpose. I have the experience, the values, and the drive to deliver real results for the families of Ward 8: starting on day one."

Submitted Biography: "With deep community roots, robust government experience, and strong relationships across D.C. leadership, I am uniquely qualified to represent Ward 8 on the DC Council. A lifelong resident of Ward 8, I grew up in Congress Heights and currently live in Bellevue. Raised by community activist parents and now a single mother raising my daughter in the same community, I intimately understand our residents' lived experiences. My public service spans over 30 years on Capitol Hill, in DC government, and at the DC Council. As Chief of Staff to Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, I managed district operations, championed DC Statehood, and worked on significant policy and legislation like the expansion of DC's Home Rule and the creation of the DC Tuition Assistance Grant (DCTAG). As Deputy Chief of Staff to Mayor Vincent C. Gray and Chief of Staff to Councilmember Gray, I shaped policies impacting Ward 8, such as the St. Elizabeths East Redevelopment. My efforts helped to bring housing, jobs, retail, the CareFirst Arena, and Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center to our community. At the Office of the People’s Counsel, I ensured fair and affordable utility services for residents. I serve on the boards of Martha’s Table and the Far SE Family Strengthening Collaborative and co-chair the William O. Lockridge Community Foundation Events Committee, raising substantial funds for families and youth in Ward 8. My extensive governance experience means I can hit the ground running on day 1."

Salim Adofo (D)
Young people in Ward 8 deserve to grow up in a safe, healthy, and supportive environment—one that empowers them to thrive. As Councilmember, I’ll expand career pathways, mentorship, and educational opportunities so youth never have to choose between safety and success. I’ll fight chronic truancy by partnering with schools to create hands-on, career-connected learning. I’ll strengthen Safe Passage routes and expand internships with life skills, leadership training, and clear paths to college, trades, or public service.
Whether you live in Bellevue or Navy Yard, every Ward 8 resident deserves safe, clean, and affordable housing—with a path to homeownership. As Councilmember, I’ll enforce housing standards, expand HPAP and DC Open Doors, and increase workforce housing for essential workers. I’ll empower tenants, repurpose vacant properties, and protect seniors, disabled residents, and low-income families from displacement. I’ll also expand housing for survivors of domestic violence and returning citizens—ensuring all our neighbors have a stable place to call home.
Mike Austin (D)
This is not my first time stepping into the arena for Ward 8. I’ve served as Associate General Counsel at United Medical Center, where I fought to protect patients and keep healthcare accessible for our residents. I’ve worked in the Ward 8 Council office as the Legislative Director, and I’ve helped lead workforce and economic opportunity efforts under the Deputy Mayor. I’ve chaired ANC 8C and brought people together to solve real problems. I understand how DC government works, and how to make it work for Ward 8. I’m not learning on the job. I’m ready to get to work on day one and fight for the resources, opportunities, and investments our community deserves.
Ward 8 is full of talent, strength, and resilience. I believe in the power of our people, and I’m running to make sure our community gets the tools to succeed. That means investing in our young people early, creating real jobs with strong wages, and supporting our seniors so they can age with dignity. It means bringing opportunity east of the river and ending the cycle of being left behind. I’ve seen what’s possible when leaders believe in the people they serve and fight with everything they have. That’s what I’ll do every day on the Council because I believe Ward 8 deserves to rise.
Sheila Bunn (D)
This isn’t just a campaign—it’s my commitment to fight for the resources and respect our community deserves. I’m fighting for our youth, our families, our seniors, and those who feel like they don’t have a seat at the table. I want to help foster positive and effective local governance and bring together neighborhoods, businesses and government to improve lives and build economic wealth for our Ward 8 families and businesses.
Together, we can build a stronger Ward 8.
Sheila’s Ward 8 Priorities:
✓ Ensuring public resources are used wisely and transparently and that government serves the people
✓ Increasing access to stable, affordable, and healthy food options
✓ Fighting for equitable investments in all of our Ward 8 public schools, competitive teacher salaries, and wraparound services for our students
✓ Fostering safe communities
✓ Expanding access to homeownership, working to make housing safe and affordable, and providing resources that allow seniors to age in place
✓ Providing our small businesses with the tools they need to remain competitive and expand
The Ward 8 Special Election is July 15th and the fight for equity, accountability, and dignity in leadership is on the line.
I have spent decades in service to our community delivering for families, fighting for students, and advancing ethical, transparent government.
I’ll bring real solutions to our schools, housing, and public safety. It’s time for leadership we can trust.

Although D.C. is not a state, its Council operates with legislative powers similar to a state legislature. This gives the Ward 8 Councilmember the authority to shape laws that impact the entire city—while ensuring that a Ward 8 perspective is centered in key debates around housing, public safety, education, healthcare, and job creation. Just as critical is the office’s oversight function. Holding agencies like DCHA, MPD, and the Department of Behavioral Health accountable is essential to ensuring services are delivered fairly and equitably—especially in a community that has experienced chronic neglect.
Beyond policy and oversight, the Ward 8 Council office is a driver of racial and economic justice. It amplifies resident voices, advocates for legislation rooted in lived experience, and forges partnerships with tenant groups, churches, nonprofits, and schools to build a more resilient Ward 8. This office is more than a legislative seat—it’s a frontline platform for justice and transformation, ensuring the District delivers on its promise of equity and opportunity for all.

The series reminds us that progress is never handed down from the top; it’s demanded by those bold enough to speak out, stand firm, and push forward in the face of resistance. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the Voting Rights Act, Eyes on the Prize captures how organizing, coalition-building, and moral clarity have reshaped our nation—and how those same principles continue to drive social change today.
Like the leaders and communities featured in Eyes on the Prize, I believe in public service that listens to the people, fights for justice, and works to build a future where every resident—especially in places like Ward 8—has the opportunity to thrive. If you want to understand why I fight, who I fight for, and how I believe change happens—watch Eyes on the Prize. That’s the spirit guiding this campaign.

Equally important is a deep commitment to public service. Dedication means consistently putting the needs of constituents above personal or political ambition. A strong sense of equity is vital, as elected leaders must champion policies that uplift historically marginalized communities and actively address systemic inequality. Courage is required to take principled stands, even when those positions are unpopular—if they serve the public’s best interest, they are worth fighting for.
Elected officials must also demonstrate responsiveness and accessibility. Listening actively to residents, respecting their concerns, and incorporating their feedback into policy decisions is foundational to good governance. Leaders should be visible and present—attending community events, responding to phone calls and emails, and making themselves available. Collaboration with fellow leaders, agencies, and local organizations is key to solving problems and delivering results.
Finally, great leaders must have vision and competence. They need to be informed and prepared, understanding the issues deeply and seeking expert guidance when necessary. Problem-solving should be focused on practical solutions rather than blame, ensuring resources are used wisely. Most importantly, elected officials should be forward-thinking—planning not just for t

Another critical duty is government oversight. A Councilmember must hold city agencies accountable to the people they serve—making sure roads are repaired, 311 requests are answered, schools are supported, and services are delivered efficiently. This includes actively monitoring the city’s budget to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, transparently, and in ways that truly benefit residents—especially those in historically underserved communities.
Equally important is constituent advocacy. Elected leaders must actively listen to residents—not only during election season but year-round. This means turning community concerns into policy action and being consistently present at ANC meetings, town halls, and neighborhood events. Accessibility, responsiveness, and relationship-building must be a top priority.
Community building is also essential. Councilmembers must foster strong partnerships with nonprofits, faith-based organizations, businesses, and neighborhood groups to create stronger, more resilient communities. That includes empowering residents through civic education, youth development, tenant organizing, and economic opportunity.
Finally, true leadership requires a strategic vision—planning for long-term growth and sustainability. From infrastructure and green spaces to economic mobility and clima

Another little-known responsibility is the Councilmember’s role in approving contracts over a certain threshold. This power enables the Ward 8 Council office to push for transparency and accountability in how city contracts are awarded—especially in ensuring local businesses and Ward 8-based contractors have a fair shot at participating in economic development projects. The Councilmember also plays a role in zoning and land-use decisions. Although the Zoning Commission has final authority, the Councilmember can influence redevelopment projects, affordable housing allocations, and the preservation of green space by shaping public opinion, introducing resolutions, and working with the Office of Planning and relevant agencies.
Additionally, the Ward 8 Councilmember can nominate or recommend residents to serve on boards and commissions—giving community members a voice in shaping policies on education, housing, public safety, and more. These appointments often go unnoticed, but they play a significant role in determining how city services are implemented on the ground. Finally, the Councilmember holds soft power through relationships with agency heads, advocacy organizations, and the Mayor’s office.
Salim Adofo (D)
Problem-solving under pressure is another essential skill. The Councilmember must respond to layered challenges with innovative, community-driven solutions. From gun violence to school underfunding, they must cut through bureaucracy, build partnerships across sectors, and deliver measurable results. This requires not only critical thinking but also a deep understanding of agency operations and limitations.
Strong communication is vital. The Councilmember must listen actively, elevate resident concerns, and clearly communicate with government officials, stakeholders, and the public. Explaining policy, building support, and speaking with moral clarity—particularly on equity and justice—are essential for trust and progress.
Relationship-building is equally important. The Councilmember must collaborate with fellow Councilmembers, the Mayor, agency heads, and most importantly, Ward 8 residents. Progress requires coalitions, shared goals, and persistent advocacy.
Ultimately, integrity and accountability are foundational. Ward 8 needs a Councilmember who shows up, follows through, and puts people first.

The second is housing. We are seeing rising costs, neglected properties, and too many families at risk of displacement. We need more affordable housing that is truly accessible and more support for renters and homeowners alike.
The third is public safety. We need safer streets, but also more resources for youth, mental health support, and violence prevention.
If we meet these challenges with urgency and care, we can build a stronger Ward 8 for the next generation.
Salim Adofo (D)
What makes this office especially important is its role in elevating the voices of Ward 8 residents—many of whom have been excluded from policymaking processes for generations. By amplifying those perspectives, the Councilmember helps drive equity-focused policies not only for the ward but across the District. The office also has the authority to conduct oversight of District agencies, ensuring accountability in how public services are delivered. This is particularly important in Ward 8, where systemic failures by city agencies have often gone unchecked. Additionally, the Councilmember helps shape land-use and development decisions, influences appointments to city boards and commissions, and plays a key role in connecting residents to critical services and advocacy.
In essence, the Ward 8 Council office is more than a legislative seat—it’s a frontline position for justice, equity, and transformative leadership. It bridges the gap between government and community, ensuring that those who have been left behind are not only heard but prioritized.
Mike Austin (D)
Sheila Bunn (D)
Previous experience helps legislators understand how to work with agencies to implement legislation or address constituent concerns. They may be more adept at helping residents navigate government services and resolving issues through existing channels. Experienced lawmakers often know how to frame issues, build public support, and navigate political pressure more effectively.
My extensive governance experience means I can hit the ground running on day one. I understand how the Congress, Mayor’s Office, and DC Council operate and already have strong relationships with current Councilmembers. If elected, I would bring no learning curve, deep local insight, and the ability to leverage citywide networks, ensuring Ward 8 gets both resources and representation from day one.

I believe every taxpayer has the right to know how their money is being spent and whether it’s truly serving the public good. That means clear, accessible reporting on budgets, contracts, and program outcomes, not just technical spreadsheets buried online. Transparency is about communication as much as compliance.
Accountability goes hand-in-hand. It means ensuring that agencies, departments, and elected officials are held responsible when services fall short, money is misused, or promises are broken. As Councilmember, I would demand strong oversight of District agencies, advocate for auditable performance benchmarks, and ensure community voices are included in oversight processes—especially in Ward 8, where residents have often been left out of decision-making.
Ultimately, I view financial transparency and accountability not just as policies, but as commitments to justice, equity, and the rightful empowerment of the people. Government should work for the people—and the people should be able to see it.
