Good Government
  1. Open Government: Co-sponsored legislation to require most D.C. government entities to conduct the public’s business in open, public session.
  2. Public Oversight: Uncovered evidence that contractors submitted fraudulent invoices to the District and spent $60,000 on eight plasma TV’s and more than $7,000 on Washington Wizards tickets. The District was awarded a $5 million settlement as the result of this investigation.
  3. Public Oversight: Questioned the cost of the leases approved by the Office of Property Management between the city and a private company - which later resulted in a criminal investigation, indictments and convictions.
  4. Public Oversight: Investigated $450 million in direct vouchers not covered under financial guidelines nor approved by the chief financial officer.
  5. Public Oversight: Held hearings on police “discriminatory” emails.
  6. Public Oversight: Presided over 63-1/2 hours of investigative hearings into allegations of fraud and mismanagement at the Office of Property Management.
