The daughter of and campaign
treasurer for former maryland
delegate Ta wanna P. Gaines
pleaded guilty friday to a count of
federal wire fraud less than a
month after her mother pleaded
similarly to the same charge.
Anitra Edmond, 43, of New
Carrollton, funneled more than
$35,000 designated for the
“friends of Ta wanna P. Gaines”
campaign committee into funds
for her personal use, according to
the U.S. attorney’s office in mary-
land.

Edmond defrauded the cam-
paign account from November
2012 to June 2018, using the mon-
ey to pay for personal expenses
such as hair appointments, fast
food, rent on an unrelated busi-
ness and personal phone bills,
federal prosecutors said, citing
her plea agreement.
“Individuals who donate to a
political campaign trust that
their money will be used to sup-
port their candidate,” U.S. Attor-
ney robert K. Hur said in a
statement. “Edmond abused that
trust to enrich herself.”
Stuart A. Berman, an attorney

for Edmond, declined to com-
ment friday.
Edmond had been treasurer of
the committee starting in 2005
and had deposited campaign con-
tributions into her personal bank
account or withdrew money from
the campaign account for her
own use, prosecutors said.
Edmond must pay restitution
and faces up to 20 years in prison,
prosecutors said. She is sched-
uled to be sentenced feb. 24.
Her mother, Gaines, 67, plead-
ed guilty to a federal wire fraud
charge in october, the same
month she abruptly resigned

from the House of Delegates after
serving in the statehouse starting
in 2001. Gaines admitted to tak-
ing more than $22,000 in cam-
paign funds for personal use. The
money was spent on expenses
including dental work, hair styl-
ing, fast food and an Amazon fire
TV stick.
Gaines is scheduled to be sen-
tenced Jan. 3 and faces eight to 33
months in prison, based on sen-
tencing guidelines and as part of
her plea agreement. She must
also pay $22,565.03 in restitution.
Gaines apologized to col-
leagues in the maryland General

Assembly on the day of her plea
hearing and said she took “full
responsibility” for her actions.
Gaines is the third Democratic
state lawmaker from Prince
George’s County who has ap-
peared in federal court on mis-
conduct charges since 2018. for-
mer delegates michael Vaughn
and William A. Campos are serv-
ing four and 4½ years in federal
prison, respectively, for accepting
bribes from businesses seeking
legislation that would expand li-
quor store sales in Prince
George’s County.

Ex-delegate’s daughter follows suit, pleads guilty to wire fraud


BY GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER

richmond — republicans have
canceled next week’s meeting of
the State Crime Commission at
which t hey were to discuss r ecom-
mendations to address gun vio-
lence, saying there’s no point be-
cause Gov. ralph Northam (D)
wants to take up t he i ssue in Janu-
ary when the n ext General Assem-
bly c onvenes.
Tuesday’s elections gave Demo-
crats control of both houses of the
legislature and drastically
changed the outlook for gun con-
trol in Virginia. republicans had
been trying to slow-walk any dis-
cussion of bills, but Northam says
they are now a priority.
“A s Governor Northam has
made clear he is preparing a legis-
lative package relating to these
issues for when the General As-

sembly c onvenes t wo months from
today, it would not be pragmatic
for the C ommission t o continue its
deliberations on these issues at
this point,” state Sen. mark D.
obenshain (r-rockingham), the
crime commission chairman, said
friday in a statement.
After a gunman killed 12 people
on may 31 in a Virginia Beach
municipal building, Northam
called a special legislative session
to take up g un restrictions. r epub-
licans who controlled the legisla-
ture duly convened in July but
adjourned after only 90 minutes
without debating a single bill.
Instead, they referred the 30-
some bills that had been filed at
that point to the S tate C rime Com-
mission for r eview. T he b ipartisan
commission, which is controlled
by republicans, met in August to
formally hear those measures and

dozens more proposed by law-
makers.
The republican leadership
promised to convene the commis-
sion again on Nov. 12 — after the
election — to hear staff recom-
mendations.
republicans were opposed to
measures advocated by Northam,
such as closing t he gun s how loop-
hole for background checks, ban-
ning assault-style weapons, limit-
ing handgun purchases to one per
month, and enacting “red flag”
provisions that allow authorities
to seize weapons from someone
deemed a danger to themselves or
others. Such bills have been
blocked for years by the republi-
can leadership, usually killed in
subcommittees.
“The reality is this was always
an attempt t o stall real progress on
common-sense gun safety mea-

sures,” said Alena Yarmosky, a
spokeswoman for Northam. “Vir-
ginians are demanding real action
to combat gun violence and save
lives — that’s what they’ll get on
day one of this n ew l egislature.”
During this year’s campaigns
for all 140 seats in the General
Assembly, though, several repub-
lican incumbents in suburban
swing districts began signaling
support for “common-sense” gun-
control measures. A Washington
Post-Schar School poll conducted
shortly before the e lection showed
gun p olicy to be the top concern of
a majority of voters statewide.
The gun-control group Every-
town for Gun Safety, founded by
former New York mayor michael
Bloomberg, poured more than
$2.5 million into Virginia’s legisla-
tive races. many Democrats made
gun control a centerpiece of their

campaigns.
“We also urge those gun lobby-
backed lawmakers who cam-
paigned on gun safety during the
election to remember their cam-
paign rhetoric and join the new
majority in passing legislation
that will save lives,” Everytown
spokesman Andrew Zucker said.
Democrats have pledged to vote
on a package of eight bills
Northam had advocated over the
summer, and the governor said he
would sign them.
“We will at least start with
those,” Northam said earlier this
week.
obenshain said the crime com-
mission will still issue its staff
report on Tuesday.

Republicans delay discussion of gun-control bills, deferring talks to 2020


fool with stuff,” she wrote in an
email. “Can’t imagine how fami-
lies with kids and jobs are han-
dling t his.”
Steve Kramer, who lives in the
Cherrydale neighborhood, said he
awoke around 6 a.m. to find his
water “spurting from the faucet.”
Pressure was restored around
7:30 a.m., he said, but h e was grate-
ful h e didn’t have to commute.
A traffic app r edirected his part-
ner from the closed Chain Bridge
to the clogged Beltway for his
morning trip to Bethesda.
“That’s going to be a challenge,”
Kramer said.

up l ater t han me s o that h e and our
pets don’t d rink u nboiled water.”
restaurants in the advisory
area brought in bottled water as
faucets sat idle. Arlington high
school football games continued
as scheduled, but concessions in-
cluded only prepackaged items
and b ottled water.
Patricia Burke, who lives in Ar-
lington’s Ashton Heights neigh-
borhood, said her taps were “spit-
ting” when she turned them on
about 7:30 a.m. She boiled water
for her dog, she said, and cleaned
out i ts b owl w ith b oiled w ater.
“A minor inconvenience for me
since I’m retired and have time to

routines for thousands of resi-
dents in Arlington, mcLean and
the D istrict who didn’t have water,
didn’t have classes or had to find
alternate r outes to work.
Arlington County Public
Schools announced at 7 a.m. that
all schools would be closed friday,
saying water pressure was affect-
ed across the c ounty.
Chain Bridge was closed for sev-
eral hours around the morning
rush but was reopened by 10 a.m.,
about the same time route 123,
known as Chain Bridge road, also
reopened. Arlington officials said
Glebe road — which was severely
damaged as crews worked to repair
the pipe — would remain closed
“until further notice” between
route 123 and military road.
Lauren B rewer, who lives in t he
Court House neighborhood in Ar-
lington, said she wasn’t aware of
the boil-water advisory until she
had l eft her h ouse friday morning.
“I get to work and read the
news, and see that I probably
should have boiled my water,” s he
wrote in an email. “Thankfully, I
read about the advisory and
warned my husband since he gets

mains runs under the Potomac
river near Chain Bridge, bringing
water from the District into Ar-
lington, morris said. When it
broke, smaller distribution lines
on the D.C. side emptied, causing
low p ressure that led to the water-
boil advisory east o f the Potomac.

“our crews have been working
all night, but w e are hamstrung by
the break there,” he wrote in an
email, referring to work in Arling-
ton. A D.C. Water map of areas
with low pressure in the District
included neighborhoods roughly
from Chevy Chase to Te nleytown
and p arts o f Wesley Heights.
The outage disrupted morning

water main b reak.
Katie o’Brien, a spokeswoman
for the Arlington Department of
Environmental Services, said it
wasn’t known what caused the
36-inch p ipe to fracture.
“There’s no clear reason why
the pipe broke,” o’Brien said.
“Weather and age are always fac-
tors. We just don’t have a clear
cause at this time. I don’t know if
we’ll ever know.”
more than 100,000 residential
and b usiness c ustomers in Arling-
ton were under a boil-water advi-
sory that is likely to remain in
place until at least Sunday as wa-
ter is tested. D.C. officials said
more than 6,000 customers were
affected in the District, where the
advisory also will stay in place
until at least Sunday. D.C. Water
officials worked friday to flush the
water system and will decide
when to lift the advisory after two
rounds of testing.
officials noted that filtered tap
water also should be boiled, as
most household water f ilters don’t
remove bacteria or viruses. The
advisory was posted as a precau-
tion, according to water officials,
with no indication that water was
contaminated.
The ruptured pipe, which was
installed in 1965, is much larger
than most in the county, where
water lines range from an inch to
48 inches in diameter. most water
mains in Arlington are six or
eight inches in diameter. more
than 60 percent of Arlington’s
mains are at l east 50 y ears old.
D.C. Water spokesman Vincent
morris said water restoration to
the District was “contingent on
work happening in Arlington” be-
cause the systems are connected,
as both get water from the Wash-
ington A queduct.
