Former District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray's political comeback is complete.
As expected, the 73-year-old Gray won a D.C. Council seat on Tuesday.
Gray will represent his home ward on the Council, and could be a major antagonist to Mayor Muriel Bowser, even though both are Democrats.
Gray's return to the Council was all but assured when he knocked off incumbent Yvette Alexander in a primary in June. Democrats outnumber Republicans 12-to-1 citywide and 37-to-1 in Gray's ward.
Gray was dogged by scandal throughout his lone term as mayor as federal prosecutors investigated major financial irregularities in his 2010 campaign. Six people who helped Gray get elected pleaded guilty to felonies. Gray denied all wrongdoing and prosecutors decided not to charge him.
