“I don’t have an opponent because my staff and I work hard,” Ward 2 D.C. Councilman Jack Evans told me during a recent conversation about his re-election bid. A Democrat, he’s running in the April 3 primary.

During his two decades in the legislature, Evans essentially has been a force for good. I repeatedly have supported his re-election. In 1998, I was prepared to endorse him for mayor — until Anthony A. Williams jumped into the race.
