Question
A holder of this office was lambasted for remarking that “outside of the killings,” a certain location had “one of the lowest crime rates in the country.” A 1986 law restricting people with too much side income from obtaining this office was dubbed the “Jesse Jackson law.” Walter Fauntroy, whose advocacy led to the creation of this office, took fifth place in the election that chose its first female holder, Sharon Pratt. The first holder of this office ignored J. Edgar Hoover’s advice to shoot rioters in the aftermath of a (*) 1968 speech by Stokely Carmichael. This position gained its current title after a 1973 “Home Rule Act.” In 1990, a holder of this office exclaimed that Rasheeda Moore had “set me up” after being caught smoking crack. For 10 points, name this city-leading office once held by Marion Barry. ■END■
