Marion Barry's son files to run for father's D.C. council seat

WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- The only son of former District of Columbia mayor Marion Barry has taken out petitions to run for his father's Ward 8 D.C. Council seat.

Thirty-four-year-old Christopher Barry showed up Monday at the D.C. Elections office to take out the petitions.

He's now among at least a dozen candidates who have taken out petitions to vie for the Ward 8 seat that was held since 2005 by the late Marion Barry.

A special election will be held on April 28 to fill out the remainder of Marion Barry's term, which runs through the end of 2016.
