In the battle for celebrity endorsements, Mayor Adrian M. Fenty struck first, with a go-go concert celebrating his campaign. And now Council Chairman Vincent Gray is getting into the act, too.

Tonight, at Ozio, Gray will mingle with “young professionals” and NFL tight end Vernon Davis—a Dunbar graduate who also played basketball and competed in track and field, then went on to play three years at the University of Maryland—to raise money for his campaign. You, too, can talk about the San Francisco (and ask Davis if you should draft him this year in fantasy football) for a suggested donation of $25 or $50.
