Here’s my story about the history of DC recalls First authorized in 1979, none of the 7 people who’ve been mayor, 66 or so who’ve been a @councilofdc member, 2 elected AGs have ever been subjected to a recall election. Only Jack Evans was close

Media reports about the DC Council recall efforts mention that no DC CM has ever been recalled. That understates - aside from the ANC level, there has NEVER been a recall election in DC history, period. 3 ANC have been recalled (out of 6 elections).

Dunno if this is a new trend, but at least 2 bachelorette parties in DC in last 6 months have done a theme where the bride to be dresses up as a founding father (George Washington?) and the bridesmaids dress up like the Secret Service.
