Longtime aide to Councilmember Jack Evans, political activist, and Ward 2 resident Jeff Coudriet died Saturday at 48 after a hard fight against cancer.
Coudriet was highly respected in the D.C. Council, where he mostly recently worked for Evans as head of the Finance Committee. Prior to that he was director of operations for the D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA). Coudriet also worked for respected former D.C. Councilmember Sharon Ambrose, who represented Ward 6.
“It is impossible to put into words the contributions Jeff made to our city and its residents,” said Evans. “My staff and I share the grief and extend our condolences to Jeff’s family and friends, and deeply mourn his passing.”
Over the years Coudriet served as president of the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club as well as president of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance. He worked for U.S. Representative Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and also represented D.C. in the 1996 Electoral College. Coudriet was a native of upstate New York and a graduate of Cornell University.
