5D07 Write-In (92 votes).
I didn't see much campaigning (although there was an unrelated group that hung anti-Kathy Henderson signs), but Kathy Henderson found a serious challenger in Marjorie D. Thomas-Barnes. Ms. Thomas-Barnes is a recent transplant from another NE DC neighborhood where she served as ANC Commissioner. Despite Henderson holding the coveted first on the ballot position Thomas-Barnes came away with 104 votes to Henderson's 146. I consider that pretty impressive and I think it shows that Henderson is quite vulnerable given the right opponent.
+++++++++++++
UPDATE: I can't speak to the accuracy of this claim, but Kathy Henderson wrote the following on a local listserv:
If any resident of ANC 5D05 on this listserv voted for me, I offer a resounding thank you! My opponent's backers spent approximately $5000.00 to attempt to unseat me.
I appreciate the residents that reelected me to finish the job of moving our community forward.
Kathy Henderson, 5D05
The effort she refers to is likely the anti-Henderson signs. I don't know how much the group paid for them, but I heard there were multiple versions.

Speaking of Hendersons, Adam Roberts takes over the seat vacated by India Henderson when she moved out of her Single Member District. It will be a while before we know the result in 5D07, but I expect those write-in votes will mostly be split between Clarence Lee and Melissa Esposito.

In 6A04 challenger Matt Levy bested incumbent (and Chair) Nick Alberti. I'll be said to see Alberti go because I think he's done a great job over the years. Here's hoping Levy proves a worthy successor.

Nice to see that Adam Roberts won. I didn't know squat about him until someone dropped a flyer at my house and I checked out his website.
oh god who gives a shit
FYI the write-ins for 6A03 are more than likely mostly for Chris Ward, who apparently submitted too few signatures to get on the ballot officially, but is still running for re-election. He was previously appointed to the seat vacated by David Holmes.
jaybeas,
Thanks! I know that name, but didn't know details.
Wow. Omar Mahmud is the only name I recognize from the semi-legendary Joe Fengler era of ANC6A. And I'm not even sure he was an SMD rep then -- he may have chaired a committee.
missing Adam for 6A
Clarence Lee was declared the winner for ANC 5D07 write in, as expected. DCBOEE does not provide details (number of votes for whom; just the name of the winner).
