(Washington Post) — A new mayor and legislators were sworn in Sunday in the District, but the city’s election season continues this week with a high-stakes party vote pitting several D.C. Council members against a former member of their body.Candidates have started vying for a vacant at-large council seat, which will be filled through a special election April 26. But Thursday, a select group of city Democrats will choose one of their own to fill the seat in the interim. As a sitting council member, the victor is expected to gain an advantage in fundraising and name recognition going into the election, which is open to members of any party.
