John James Capozzi, Jr. (D) served as the second District of Columbia Shadow U.S. Representative, during 1995-1997[2][3] and is a former at-large member of the District of Columbia Democratic State Committee.[4] He ran as a Candidate to become an At-Large Councilmember on the Council of the District of Columbia and was defeated September 10, 1996.[5] Capozzi was the inspiration for the character Tommy Carcetti in the HBO drama The Wire.
In August 2009 Capozzi made headlines in a local publication, East of the River. The former shadow rep was highlighted by reporter, Gerri Williams in an article called 'A Green Home in Hillcrest'.[6] Capozzi and his wife Sue built the first Green Home located in the South East region of Washington, D.C.
The solar concept was not new to Capozzi, who works for the DC government’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer.[7]
