SEATTLE (AP) -- Wayne Barnett, staff counsel for the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission since 2001, has been chosen as executive director of the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission.
The seven commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday to select Barnett, 35, a former spokesman for Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and an unsuccessful candidate for a Democratic U.S. House nomination in Ohio in 1998, over Daniel Berger, a former Army lawyer.
If confirmed by the City Council, Barnett would succeed Terry Thomas, who left in November to become vice president for ethics with MCI Corp. in Ashburn, Va. Meanwhile, Harley Anders, a commission investigator and former FBI agent, remains interim director.
Thomas received $90,118 a year. Barnett's salary has yet to be determined.
