Well, it’s now officially official.

Adrian Fenty will be the next mayor of Washington, DC. And so far, everything I’ve heard, read and seen about what to expect has been impressive. Fenty is a different kind of mayor and it’s exciting to see that a major change is coming.

And he’s not coming alone. After pulling off a coup d’etat by luring Dan Tangherlini away from Metro and retaining Tene Dolphin as his chief of staff, he named the city’s attorney general and his general counsel and both bring an impressive background.

Linda Singer, a Harvard Law School graduate, oversees 18 offices and 70 staff members for Appleseed, a nonprofit organization dedicated to social causes. Peter J. Nickles, who practices corporate law, has also been known to do pro bono work for those who normally wouldn’t be able to receive his level of counsel.
