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.

Good for him? Remind me why we would care...
You ever heard of the old saying " Like Father , Like Son"
He learned from the best crooked a$$ in D.C..
Yo yo yo pops
4:53 - he also learned to use illegal substances and has been convicted of related offenses - if my memory serves me. They'll get more of the same if they vote for him......and the rest of us wonder why we should give DC autonomy.....not with the idiots in charge and the ones voting.....
He'll win hands down. (No pun intended).
