Ward 5 Councilman and mayoral candidate Vincent Orange wrote a letter of support to the District Zoning board chairwoman on behalf of the Maryland owner of a disputed Capitol Hill building who, along with his son and attorney, contributed $6,000 to Orange’s campaign for mayor, campaign finance records show.

In addition, Orange last year disclosed that the building’s owner, Peter Shin, had given $5,500 to Orange’s Mayoral Exploratory Committee, bringing the total amount given by Shin and his associates to more than $10,000.
