Jonetta Rose Barras: Changing of the guard in Washington

D.C. Democratic mayoral nominee Adrian Fenty has some employees scrambling for cover. Others, including Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi, are feeling the love. Former managers, such as Dan Tangherlini, are being zealously courted.

In Ward 4, the line of council wannabes is forming. Willie Flowers, Charles Gaither, Doug Sloan, Muriel Bowser and Michael “I’m-gonna-be-mayor” Brown are hoping for Fenty’s blessing. But Bowser’s the one. Fenty says she’d be a good legislator, but he won’t make any endorsement until after the general election.
