New D.C. Council member Jamal Holtz became the legislative body’s youngest lawmaker ever when he was sworn in this week.
The 28-year-old Democrat took over the at-large seat vacated by Robert White, who resigned last Monday to run for the open D.C. delegate seat vacated by Eleanor Holmes Norton.
Mr. Holtz was appointed by the D.C. Democratic Party as a stand-in, and Mr. White won the election to become the District’s nonvoting congressional representative.
