Potential Republican candidates for at-large D.C. Council seat

The District Republican party is considering running a one of three candidates for the at-large council seat that will be left vacant by Kwame Brown when he ascends to D.C. Council chairman in January.

They’ll likely choose one of the following three to run in the special election expected to take place in May, D.C. GOP executive director Paul Craney told The Washington Examiner.

Pat Mara: Ward 1 elected him to the board of education this month.

Dave Hedgepeth: Did the best of any Republican ward council candidate in the 2010 general election, picking up about 34 percent of the vote in Ward 3.

Tim Day: Picked up a mere 5.8 percent of the vote against Harry Thomas, Jr., in Ward 5.
