Political career

Fenty was an intern for Senator Howard Metzenbaum (D-OH), Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), and Representative Joseph P. Kennedy II (D-MA) before becoming involved in local politics. Howard Morton Metzenbaum ( June 4 1917 &ndash March 12 2008) was an American politician who served for almost 20 years as a Eleanor Holmes Norton (born June 13, 1937) is a Delegate to Congress representing the District of Columbia Joseph Ryan Hawkes Patrick Kennedy II (born September 24 1952, in Brighton Massachusetts) named after his late uncle Joseph P In addition to serving as an aide to Councilmember Kevin Chavous, he was elected as an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in ANC 4C and was president of the 16th Street Neighborhood Civic Association. Membership and qualifications Each ANC Commissioner is nominated and elected by the registered voters who reside in the same Single Member District as the candidate A Civic Association is a type of political organization whose official goal is to improve neighborhoods through volunteer work by its members

In 2000, Fenty ran against longtime Ward 4 Councilmember Charlene Drew Jarvis. Charlene Drew Jarvis (born July 31, 1941, Washington DC, as Charlene Rosella Drew) is an American educator and former scientific researcher Jarvis was well-known and a heavy favorite, but Fenty campaigned relentlessly and — in what was to become his trademark — pursued an aggressive door-to-door strategy that put up countless green yard signs. It worked; Fenty was elected by a 57–43 percent margin. [7][8][9] Unopposed in both the primary and general elections in 2004, Fenty was reelected for a second term. [10][11]

As a Councilmember, Fenty was noted for his tireless commitment to constituent services; his vocal opposition to public funding for a new baseball stadium; and his proposal to fund a $1 billion capital improvement program for public schools, which, in different form, the Council subsequently passed. [12] He is a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition,[13] an organization formed in 2006 and co-chaired by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston mayor Thomas Menino. The Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition is a coalition of Mayors from 225 different United States cities, with a stated goal of "making the public safer The City of New York Michael Rubens Bloomberg (born February 14, 1942) is an American businessman and the Mayor of New York City.

One of the commonly noted symbols of his attention to constituent concerns is his frequent use of his three BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry is a Wireless Handheld device introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager One BlackBerry directly connects him to Police Chief Cathy Lanier while the latter two are for business and personal matters.

2006 mayoral campaign

Main article: 2006 Washington, D.C. mayoral election

Adrian Fenty formally announced his campaign for DC Mayor on June 1, 2005. Events 193 - Roman Emperor Didius Julianus is Assassinated 987 - Hugh Capet is elected Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. In the fall of 2005, then-mayor Anthony A. Williams made the widely anticipated announcement that he would not seek re-election, and then-Council Chair Linda Cropp announced she would be a candidate for Mayor. Anthony Allen "Tony" Williams (born July 28 1951, in Los Angeles California) is an American Politician who served Linda Washington Cropp (born October 5, 1947, in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Politician in Washington D Other candidates in the field included businesswoman Marie Johns, then-Councilmember Vincent Orange, and lobbyist Michael Brown (who dropped out of the race in September 2006), though most political observers saw the race as a two-person contest between Fenty and Cropp.

Fenty ran on a platform of bringing a more energetic and hands-on approach to city government. Cropp trumpeted her 25 years of experience in city government and her desire to continue the progress made by Anthony Williams, who endorsed her candidacy. The race was widely viewed as neck-and-neck through the spring of 2006. Both candidates raised significant and nearly equal amounts of money – roughly $1. 75 million through June 10, 2006[15] – and neither gained any significant advantages from the numerous candidate debates and forums. Events 1190 - Third Crusade: Frederick I Barbarossa drowns in the Sally River while leading an army to Jerusalem Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

By July of 2006, however, public and private polling gave Fenty a roughly 10-point advantage. [16] Political observers have debated whether it was Fenty's unprecedented door-to-door campaign (he and his campaign visited virtually every block in the city), Cropp's lack of engagement in the campaign, or the electorate's desire for a new direction after eight years of Anthony Williams. Regardless, Cropp went on the attack during the last month of the campaign. In direct mail and television advertisements, Cropp painted Fenty as unfit for the job and a careless lawyer who had been admonished by the D. C. Bar;[17] in 2005, he received an informal admonition from the Bar for his role in a probate case in 1999. The attacks appear to have backfired. The reaction, coupled with the endorsement of the Washington Post, extended Fenty's lead in the campaign's final weeks. On September 12, 2006, Fenty won all 142 city precincts in the Democratic Primary—a feat unparalleled in the city's political history[18]—and defeated Linda Cropp by a 57–31 percent margin. Events 1213 - Albigensian Crusade: Simon de Montfort 5th Earl of Leicester, defeats Peter II of Aragon at the Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. [19]

Fenty received 89% of the vote in the general election[20][21] and became the capital's sixth elected mayor since the establishment of home rule. The structure of Washington DC 's city government has changed several times since the City of Washington was officially granted a formal government in 1802 District of Columbia home rule is a term encompassing the controversy regarding the lack of an intrinsic right for citizens of the District of Columbia (i

Mayor (2007–present)

Upon his inauguration as Mayor of Washington, Fenty surprised the city by announcing his plans to overhaul the city's ailing school system by bringing its administration directly under mayoral control — a policy that he had not mentioned during his mayoral campaign. However, the D. C. Council granted Fenty's request and he received new powers over the school system in June 2007. [22] His selection of education reformer Michelle Rhee to manage District schools surprised the education establishment, and underscored his determination to set D. Michelle A Rhee ( Korean: 이양희 Rhee Yanghee) is the chancellor of the District of Columbia Public Schools system and the founder of The C. 's long-troubled system on a new path. The 37-year-old Rhee rose to prominence as an advocate for higher standards and less-conventional recruitment and training of teachers. .

In-school education is not the only priority with Fenty, an advocate of Marion Barry's famous DC Summer Youth Job Program, which helps teens with part-time summer employment, often in agencies of the District Government. Marion Shepilov Barry Jr (born March 6, 1936) is an American politician who served as the second elected mayor of the District of Columbia These jobs, according to Fenty, will inspire children in secondary education to seek higher goals, and to continue further their education, be it trade schools and/or major universities.

In March 2007, Fenty suffered a significant defeat by pro-gun groups in the D. C. case for gun control. [23] The case will be reviewed by the U. S. Supreme Court in early 2008.
