It looks like DC may have a special election soon, depending upon whether they appoint an interim council member or hold a special election. Council Member Kwame Brown is moving up to become Council Chair, and this creates a vacancy in his old seat.
Here is an interesting article about the situation:

Another article indicates DCDSC National Committeeman Vincent Orange may be appointed:

The City Council serves as the legislative body for the District of Columbia, with just over a dozen members. This makes it easy to build a biker-friendly legislative majority, mathematically speaking.
The first step in this direction is to figure out who's running, and then find out where they stand on the helmet law. If there is at least one candidate who supports helmet law repeal -- and that candidate is electable -- it's an opportunity that normally happens only once in a blue moon.
As always, updates will be posted to the Elections page at RIDE2REPEAL.COM.
