For a few select individuals, Tuesday's elections bring with them high stakes, as Republicans attempt to maintain their district majority and a son hopes to follow in his influential father's footsteps. Elections on April 28, 2015, will include a state legislative special election in New Hampshire and a pair of city council special elections in Washington, D.C.

In New Hampshire's Rockingham 13 District, either Carol Croteau (D) or Dennis Green (R) will be elected to a four-member district currently represented by three Republican legislators. The former incumbent, Ann M. Howe (R), resigned in March citing increased demands in her personal and professional life.[1]

Citizens in Washington, D.C., will elect two new council members to represent Districts 4 and 8. Fourteen candidates will face off to claim the District 4 seat formerly held by Mayor Muriel Bowser prior to her election in November 2014. The District 8 seat is also up for election following Marion Barry's death in November 2014. Sixteen candidates, including Barry's son, will fight for the chance to succeed a man who had been involved in city politics since the 1970s, including serving as the second and fourth mayor of D.C.[2]
