The Democratic primary took place on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.[1] Incumbent Mike Brown was stirred in controversy prior to the election in response to him calling claiming that the city council acts like a "petulant child" and that its councilors act like "drunk, irresponsible teenagers" in response to Congress striking down a controversial legislative package the council passed.[2][3] After Brown made these comments, several candidates declared they would challenge him in the Democratic primary. Brown, in an interview with the Washington City Paper, suggested that he might retire rather than seek re-election in 2024.[4] Brown announced on January 12, 2024, that he would not seek another term. The City Paper also suggested that Kinlow represented the city's "old guard" and that Jain was more of an outsider.[5]
