posted in Latest News by We Are Washington D.C.
Mayor-elect Muriel E. Bowser named several senior aides Tuesday, including the leader of a well-respected network of public-interest nonprofit policy centers to serve as her chief legal counsel.
Betsy Cavendish will leave the presidency of Appleseed to join the District government as the mayor’s general counsel. She becomes the second person in that post to join the District government; in 2007, Linda Singer left Appleseed to become D.C. attorney general, then a mayor-appointed office.
