ADEvans filed to run in both the primary and the special election, sparking outrage from his former council colleagues. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) also questioned Evans’s decision to run again. “It demonstrates to me that he doesn’t take ethics at all seriously,” said Council member David Grosso (I-At Large), who said the council should expel Evans if he returns to office. After that probe found multiple ethics violations, and a majority of the council called for Evans’s expulsion, Mendelson said Evans should go. More reactions from D.C. Council members to Evans running againI thought we turned the page on that chapter of DC history.
