Adrian Fenty fundraiser
I am writing to invite you to join me for a small group breakfast with Washington D.C. Councilmember Adrian M. Fenty, (9:00am - 10:00am, Friday, May 12 at the offices of New Mountain Capital, 787 7th Avenue, 49th Floor).
Adrian is currently the leading candidate for Mayor of Washington, D.C. He should be able to give some interesting off-the record remarks on the upcoming election, the state of education reform in our nation's capital, the return of major league baseball to Washington and other issues.
At age 35, Adrian is the youngest member on the DC City Council. He won his seat in 2000 in a landmark victory over a twenty-one year incumbent. During his two terms in office Adrian has earned a reputation for demanding accountability from governmental agencies, supporting lower taxes and remaining responsive to constituent issues. Adrian was an early champion of charter schools and recently he sponsored the city's landmark School Modernization Financing Act which authorizes $1 billion towards the building or renovation of new school facilities in the District. (Oprah and CNN recently reported on the sad state of school facilities in D.C.)
Although this breakfast is a fundraiser, contributions are not necessary to attend. I do think, though, that anyone who is interested in school reform, politics in our nation's capital or public policy will enjoy seeing Adrian and hearing what he has to say.
Please advise me if you'd like to join me at 9AM on May 12 at New Mountain Capital's office (787 Seventh Avenue, 49th floor btw 51st and 52nd Aves). Some additional info on the breakfast and Adrian is attached.
All good wishes,
James Stovall
