LinkElectionsLinks DCist: Ward 2 ANC Commissioner Launches Bid For D.C. Council Seat Held By Brooke Pinto By Editor On Jul 23, 2020 Last updated Jul 23, 2020 17 Share Since her swearing-in ceremony late last month, new D.C. lawmaker Brooke Pinto has jumped into important legislative meetings about the District government’s spending plan for next year. She now represents Ward 2 in the seat that 29-year councilmember Jack Evans held until last January, when he resigned in scandal. As a relative unknown in local politics, Pinto surprised many by winning both the crowded June 2 Democratic primary (in which Evans also ran) and the June 16 special election to serve out the rest of Evans’ term. The latter contest allowed her to become the D.C. Council’s youngest member, at 28. 17 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
