It found that Evans had 11 ethics violations since 2014 and received over $400,000 for doing little to no work for consulting clients, most of which were 'prohibited sources' under the #DC Code of Official Conduct.

Public financing is a game changer for so many candidates who want to be accountable to DC residents, not wealthy donors and special interests. We’re proud to support #DCFairElex and excited to see its success so far! – at Washington, DC
In D.C., taxpayer dollars are now helping candidates run for office. Proponents of public financing says it levels the playing field between challengers and incumbents, and takes corporate money out of elections: wamu.org/story/19/08/09/cand…
