Mayor Adrian Fenty’s nominee for D.C.’s Board of Elections and Ethics said he’d recuse himself if he ever thought his close ties to the mayor and the attorney general would affect his judgment.
Togo West made the comment Monday during a council committee hearing on the former secretary of the Army and veterans affair’s nomination. Fenty nominated West last week after board of elections Chairman Errol Arthur announced he’d be resigning Aug. 2 to take a job as a judge at the D.C. Superior Court.
