Keith Anderson was appointed Deputy Mayor for Operations and Infrastructure (DMOI) by Mayor Bowser on October 13, 2023. The Mayor also nominated him to the DC Water Board of Directors, where he currently serves as Chairperson. Anderson, one of the longest-serving cabinet members, returns to lead the cluster in which he began his service in District Government. Previously, he served as Interim Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, Director of the DC Department of General Services, Director of the DC Department of Parks and Recreation and Director of the DC Department of Energy and Environment.

With his extensive background overseeing the District’s environmental and sustainability programs, managing the District’s portfolio of buildings, and leading the District’s recreational facilities, spaces, and programs, Anderson will elevate and align the work of the DMOI cluster to support DC’s comeback. He brings deep institutional knowledge of District Government and strong insight of the hopes and needs of community partners to the cluster that works each day to build safer, stronger, and more resilient DC.
