(Washington, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser released the following statement on the resignation of Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey DeWitt:
“We thank District Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey DeWitt for his steady leadership and prudent stewardship of the District’s finances. During CFO DeWitt’s tenure working with the Bowser Administration, we achieved a AAA bond rating and have successfully maintained 60 days cash on hand – a milestone for the District. Among the many ways he helped set our community up for success, CFO DeWitt’s critical analysis paved the way for region-wide dedicated funding for WMATA to support much-needed infrastructure improvements. It is with this sound financial footing that the District has been able to weather the COVID-19 recession while providing critical support to residents and businesses. We are proud of our partnership to create a stronger more resilient city, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
