SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Miami Herald (FL) dated Sept 15, 1994. This original newspaper contains a front page heading, photo, and news that MARION BARRY has won the Democratic Party nomination for MAYOR of WASHINGTON, DC (this was tantamount to his election as DC Mayor in DC politics). Barry was re-elected by the people of Washngton, DC even in the aftermath of Barry's being arrested, prosecuted, and going to prison for his use of crack cocaine in a federal government "sting: operation.

At the end of a joint sting operation by FBI agents and District of Columbia police, Mayor Marion Barry was arrested and charged with drug possession and the use of crack, a crystalline form of cocaine. At the Vista International Hotel in downtown Washington, Barry was caught smoking the substance on camera with Rahsheeda Moore, a woman who had agreed to set up Barry in exchange for a reduced sentence in an earlier drug conviction.

In September 1991, he was sentenced to six months in prison for possession of crack cocaine. After serving his sentence, Barry, claiming to have overcome his “personal adversities,” reentered D.C. politics. He was elected to the city council before once again winning the mayoral election in 1994 for an unprecedented fourth term. In 1997, Barry, often accused of corruption, was stripped of much of his power by Congress, which passed legislation to end “home rule” in the District, returning the city to the pre-1974 system of administration by federal-appointed commissioners. In January 1999, Barry retired and was succeeded by Anthony Williams as mayor of the nation’s capital. However, Barry entered politics again when he ran for the Ward 8 City Council seat and won with 96% of the vote in November 2004. He died in 2014.
