Vincent B. Orange Sr. made his case for re-election at a Georgetown Business Association forum last week. The at-large D.C. Councilman’s demeanor contrasted dramatically with his pre-summer-recess dais-pounding performance where he objected to the selection of Michael A. Brown as the legislature’s interim chairman pro tempore.

“I was acting on what was in the best interest of the institution,” Orange told me during an interview after the forum. “At that point, I believed I was the best choice.”
