D.C. Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) listens during a meeting of the council in November. (J. Lawler Duggan/For The Washington Post)D.C. Council member Jack Evans has repeatedly emailed business proposals to law firms that lobby District officials, offering his connections and influence amassed as the city’s longest-serving lawmaker. But of the 13 members of the D.C. Council, just one other — Mary M. Cheh — reports significant and ongoing outside income on required financial disclosures. Throughout his 28-year tenure on the council, Evans has engaged in outside legal and consulting work. That month, his signature was the first among seven council members who, under D.C. Council letterhead, urged the Public Service Commission to approve a merger between Exelon and Pepco.
