D.C. Council member Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7) experienced another stroke in late April and has since remained in inpatient physical therapy, according to his office. The council member and former mayor is not seeking reelection after a previous stroke in December 2021 led to ongoing health challenges.

Gray had not publicly disclosed the stroke in April, though his social media account had said in a May 7 post that he could not attend a council meeting that day because he was undergoing inpatient physical therapy.
“I have never sought to hide anything from the public, but at the same time my health is a private matter provided that it doesn’t interfere with my public duties,” Gray, who has said his health challenges have not impeded his work as a council member, told The Washington Post in an email provided by Thies.
