Williams’ financial successes in the District made him a popular figure. In January 1998, local media reported that Williams was considering a run for mayor in that year’s election; he quickly dismissed the notion, but a “Draft Anthony Williams” movement began building nonetheless. When Barry declined to seek a fifth term as mayor in the spring of 1998, Williams finally entered the race, resigning as CFO to campaign. Williams instantly assumed frontrunner status in the race, and in September won the D.C. Democratic primary with 50% of the vote in a six-person race, then won the November 3 general election by a 2–1 margin despite not having held any elected office since 1982. Upon his election, the Control Board announced that it would begin ceding back to Williams much of the executive authority it had stripped of the mayor’s office during Barry’s tenure.
