DC director of policy fired

WASHINGTON - The District's director of policy and legislative affairs has been fired, according to Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Mayor Bowser's press secretary told FOX 5 the firing was due to contracting issues and the case has been referred to the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability. 

Bryan Hum

The mayor told FOX 5 that Bryan Hum secured employment —  related to a contract that the council voted on regarding healthcare — that may have been a conflict of interest. 

"Employees can of course move on, but they have to recuse themselves from any actions involving a future employer," Bowser said. 

Prior to joining the Bowser Administration, Hum worked as a senior policy associate with The ERISA Industry Committee.
