But enough with the dudes. D.C. Women in Politics, a group focused on women's issues, held votes to decide on which candidates to endorse (only women were allowed to compete). In Ward 4,  Renee Bowser, who's already hitting Todd in mailers, won the endorsement.

In Ward 8, the group backed Ward 8 Democrats president  Natalie Williams, who beat  Vince Gray favorite  Sheila Bunn and narrowly edged out Muriel Bowser-endorsed  LaRuby May.
