David Catania, the at-large member of the Washington, D.C., City Council who helped steer the city's marriage-rights bill, is an unlikely figure in District politics. He was elected as a Republican in a Democratic town (although he later broke with his party over marriage equality) and has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in D.C. politics. The marriage-rights bill passed 11-2 in a second City Council vote today.
