Council roundtable reviews Karen Greenfield renomination to D.C. Board of Elections
Summary
At a Committee on Executive Administration and Labor roundtable, nominee Karen Allison Greenfield described her background, five years on the Board of Elections and reiterated the board's role in preserving election integrity; committee members questioned her on disclosures, accessibility and initiative review.
Chair Councilmember Anita Bonds convened the Committee on Executive Administration and Labor to consider PR20‑6304, the renomination of Karen Allison Greenfield to the District of Columbia Board of Elections. Bonds opened the roundtable by describing the Board's responsibility for administering elections, ballot access and voter registration and then swore in the nominee.
"My name is Karen Allison Greenfield, and I am being renominated for my position to serve on the DC Board of Elections," Greenfield said in her opening statement, noting her education, decades of private-sector experience and more than five years on the board. She listed service during three primary, two special and three general elections and said she would continue to prioritize independence and integrity on the board.
Greenfield told the committee she holds a bachelor of science in management sciences and accounting from Duke University and a J.D. from Duke University School of Law, and that she has worked for more than 20 years at Northrop Grumman. She told the committee she is mindful of the time required to serve and said she chooses commitments so she can fully participate.
The committee did not take a vote at the roundtable. Bonds closed the session after questioning and invited written public comments to be submitted by November 28 for the record. The committee is scheduled to consider next procedural steps following the public comment period.
