Ray (born May 16, 1943[1]) is a lawyer and Democratic politician in Washington, D.C. Ray was an at-large member of the Council of the District of Columbia from 1979 to 1997.[2] Ray is a partner and member of the board of directors at the law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.[3] Early lifeRaised in Tom Creek, Georgia, Ray graduated from George Washington University School of Law.[4] While a law school student, Ray interned at Abe Fortas' law firm.[4] After graduating from law school, Ray worked as a law clerk for Spottswood William Robinson III.[4] Political careerOn January 8, 1979, Ray was appointed by the District of Columbia Democratic State Committee to the at-large council seat vacated by Marion Barry, who had been sworn in as mayor a few days earlier.[5] He was Barry's chosen successor. Ray went on to win the May 1 special election handily[6] and then to be reelected in 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992.[2] Following Council Chairman John A. Wilson's suicide in May 1993, the council chose Ray to be acting chairman.[7] Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly had backed another at-large council member, Linda Cropp, for the appointment and thought she had lined up the votes on the council, but Charlene Drew Jarvis switched her vote to Ray[8] because she intended to run for chairman in the special election and viewed Cropp as a threat.[7] Ray served as acting chairman until the special election on September 14, which was won by former chairman David A. Clarke.[9] Ray finished his term as at-large member, but he did not run for reelection in 1996.[2] References1. ^{{cite web| title=John Ray (D-At Large)| work=The Washington Post| year=1996| accessdate=2008-07-26| url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/counties/dc/longterm/bios/ray.htm}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|us-dc}}{{s-bef | before=Marion Barry}}{{s-ttl2. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=Historical Elected Officials: At-Large Member of the Council of the District of Columbia |author=District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics |accessdate=2008-07-26 |url=http://www.dcboee.org/information/eo_index/history/AT_LARGE.shtm |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080723225241/http://www.dcboee.org/information/eo_index/history/AT_LARGE.shtm |archivedate=2008-07-23 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web| title=John L.
