Wards 4 and 7 To Face Gap in Representation

“Ward 4 residents have grown accustomed to council member Adrian M. Fenty's untiring devotion to getting the small things done for his constituents.
But now because of an oddity in the city charter, ward residents will have no representative for at least four months after Fenty (D) resigns from the council and takes office as mayor Jan. 2.

The gap in leadership concerns some neighbors in upper Northwest, as well as those who live on the eastern side of the city where council member Vincent C. Gray (D-Ward 7) will soon vacate his seat to become chairman of the D.C. Council.”
