Gray Hosted by Superlawyers at Fundraiser

D.C. Council Chair Vincent Gray's mayoral campaign got a boost Wednesday night with the endorsement of superlawyer Robert S. Bennett, a Georgetown University graduate, and his photographer wife, Ellen, at a meet-and-greet fundraiser at their Kalorama home.  The well-heeled event, co-hosted by attorney Stephen Porter and his wife Susan drew about 40 people.

Bennett's client list reads like a Washington Who's Who -- Bill Clinton (during the Lewinsky scandal), Sen. John McCain, former CIA operative Valerie Plame, Paul Wolfowitz and Caspar Weinberger.

Among the guests were Barbara B. Lang, president and CEO of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce and her husband, Gerald, a management consultant and a member of the University of the District of Columbia's board of trustees.  The chamber endorsed Gray a few weeks ago.
