More mayoral appointee questions loom

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray announced his three nominees for the city Board of Elections and Ethics on Wednesday. One seat, the minority (a.k.a. non-Democrat seat) has been vacant for years. The chairman, Togo West, has stayed on until his replacement was named, as was board member Charles Lowery.

But no sooner were the nominees announced than questions raised again about residency. (Sound familiar? The mayor’s recent nominee for deputy chief of staff decided to step down earlier this month over a complaint that she had voted in the District last year while living in Bethesda.)
