Former Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Brian Kenner may be reemerging in local politics after a very recent departure from D.C. government to go work for Amazon.

According to an October 31 proposal, Mayor Muriel Bowser tapped Kenner to fill the vacant seat on the Events DC board of directors. Kenner served for four and a half years as Bowser’s top economic official. He left the office in June to assume a position as an economic development official with Amazon, after working on the District’s bid to bring the tech behemoth to the city.

If approved by the D.C. Council, Kenner would join the Events DC board of directors for a four-year term, ending in May 2023. The board consists of 12 members representing different business sects in the community. It oversees the management of entertainment venues like the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the Entertainment and Sports Arena, and Nationals Park. The board also manages RFK Stadium, which the city announced in September that it would be tearing down by 2021.

Kenner’s resume, which was attached to Bowser’s proposal, states that while serving as a deputy mayor, he managed a “$7 billion real estate portfolio” including projects like The Wharf and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Kenner was also influential in the efforts to bring Amazon to the District, offering the giant online retailer $1 billion for a second headquarters in D.C. Eventually, the company settled on a second headquarters in Crystal City. A few months later, Kenner went to work for Amazon himself.

In his role at Amazon, he leads development and investment across the region, “work[ing] directly with key government agencies, officials as well as chambers of commerce, utilities, and other key public/private stakeholder groups,” according to his resume. Previously, he was the city manager of Takoma Park.

Kenner’s nomination, first reported by the Washington Business Journal, could be approved by the D.C. Council as early as Nov. 26. If appointed, Kenner would complete the 12-person board, which is somewhat fresh off of budget battles with the D.C. Council. Council chairman Phil Mendelson, after finding $180 million unused funds in the DC Events reserves, led an effort to divert $49 million away from the board to fund public housing repairs and do away with the hotel tax that helps fund the board. It also comes as Events DC grapples with what to do with the RFK Stadium site.

The mayor’s office and Kenner have not responded to requests for comment.
